Research, Development & Phytochemical Validation
Bridging centuries of classical Siddha medicine with cutting-edge analytical chemistry. We validate herbal botanicals, standardize active markers, and engineer convenient, bioavailable modern dosage formats.
Transforming Classical Shastric Wisdom into Standardized Formulations
Ancient Siddha treatises contain phenomenal clinical therapeutic insights. Our dedicated R&D team analyzes these classical scriptures and standardizes them using modern chromatography, spectrophotometry, and physicochemical metrics.
From testing active markers such as curcuminoids, withanolides, and piperine to optimizing gastro-intestinal solubility and bioavailability, we ensure every Melina medicine delivers consistent therapeutic response.
Phytochemical Markers
Quantifying active therapeutic components in every raw botanical harvest.
Modern Dosage Forms
Formulating tablets and veg capsules that replace bitter decoctions for patient compliance.
The Melina Analytical Gauntlet
Every formulation must clear 4 exhaustive tiers of laboratory verification before release.
Botanical Authentication
Macro and microscopic tissue analysis comparing specimens against certified herbarium monographs to eliminate species adulteration.
Physicochemical Profiling
Evaluation of total ash, acid-insoluble ash, alcohol-soluble extractive, moisture content (loss on drying), and pH consistency across all batches.
Heavy Metal & Toxin Screen
Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry screening for Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, and Arsenic, ensuring levels are strictly below WHO thresholds.
Microbial Bioburden Limits
Full microbial limit testing verifying absence of E. coli, Salmonella, Staphylococcus aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa before product release.
Advanced Research Technology
Our QC laboratory is outfitted with precision instruments adhering to Good Laboratory Practices (GLP), providing verifiable Certificates of Analysis (COA) for hospitals, practitioners, and retail consumers.
Collaborate With Melina Research Team
We collaborate with Siddha medical colleges, clinical research organizations, and institutional practitioners to advance evidence-based natural medicine.
