Quality Assurance (QA)
Originitalia’s R&D department works closely alongside Quality Assurance (QA) to ensure that every product attains and maintains the highest possible standard and safety, thereby providing complete satisfaction for the client. To achieve this, QA implements continuous and thorough Analytical and Microbiological analyses using state-of-the-art equipment throughout each phase of the production process: from the raw materials as they arrive, through the different phases of manufacturing, to the finished products as they leave. Analytical testing guarantees that the chemical-physical components of a raw material conform to the standard. Microbiological testing is carried out as a safety precaution for the costumer and to certify that the raw materials used are not contaminated.

QA has at its disposal:

Analytical test Microbiological test
Infra-red Aerobic Plate Count
PH Total Yeast & Mould Count
Karl Fischer Titration Microbiological Examination of H20
Viscosity Air Sampling (MAS 100 Eco)
Specific Gravity (density)               Identification of Clinically Significant Gram-Negative
  Frequently Isolated Aerobic Gram-positive
  Challenge Tests

QA testing process

Materials on arrival: the raw materials are subjected to both analytical and microbiological analyses while the packaging of the materials are checked to confirm they correspond with the purchase specifications.

Inspection of the manufacturing phase: periodical checks of equipment/machinery and internal audits take place to verify that production is maintained at the highest level. Analytical and Microbiological tests of the bulk are carried out to ensure that the manufactured product conforms to the standard.

Finished products: undergo microbiological analysis and chemical-physical controls to guarantee the quality expected before it is introduced into the market.
