Are You Facing Challenges Within the Botanical Industry?

While many botanical products are cultivated and processed to provide internal and topical health benefits, this doesn’t indicate that the production process is void of all potential hazards.

Some of the most common hurdles you will face and must overcome when working in the botanical industry involve:
 

• Testing Techniques - Many pharmaceutical manufacturing processes are built on the techniques used within controlled laboratory environments to extract unaltered chemical compounds and provide those compounds in an easily usable form. As this is the backbone to all further production capabilities and integrity, the control of this process is imperative.  
   

• Personnel Safety - Personnel still face safety dangers while handling various botanical and cannabis products. Some methods of sterilization and extraction utilize chemicals, which may cause hazardous exposure to exceed recommended safety levels. Hence, the importance for quality equipment that properly controls airborne vapors remains paramount to this industry.
   

• Product Integrity - Botanicals and cannabis products are easily contaminated and potentially dangerous to the end user if not handled with extreme care. These potential hazards have led to strict regulations for the entire production process.

Smart laboratory companies already know that the key to navigating these potential dangers is introducing consistency and repeatability to the manufacturing process. And that involves the dependability of the equipment utilized throughout.

Air Science continues to manufacture quality filtration units that provide personnel safety, process regulation and product integrity throughout the entire manufacturing process.

The Purair® Basic and Advanced Ductless fume hoods, the Purair BIO, and the Purair FLEX are all products that can assist botanical and cannabis manufacturers in quality control and safety management.
