SBL-FOCUS ON QUALITY

What distinguishes SBL on India's Homoeopathic scene is its :
NON- NEGOTIABLE FOCUS ON QUALITY.

Efficacy of homoeopathic therapy hinges on the integrity of the producer of the medicine. SBL excels on this parameter and forever seeks to enhance its lead

through technology, Research & Development, and clinical trials.
Quality parameters of the official pharmacopoeia are surpassed by in-house specifications, 'G.M.P. - grade' processing, and stringent testing at all stages. SBL is the only homoeopathic pharmaceutical company in the country to have ISO 9001 : 2000 certification (Certified by TUVNORD of Germany, earlier which was known as RWTUV).

The quality assurance system at SBL is constantly being upgraded for reaping benefits in terms of quality, productivity, and lasting customer relationship.

The result is a product that delivers the healing that it promises.

AUTHENTIC FEEDSTOCK

Herbs, minerals and organic feedstock of stringent specifications are from quality vendors in the country and abroad. Organic herbs (grown without the use of fertilizer and pesticides), are collected at the appropriate time for maximum richness in active constituents.

For maximizing efficacy of the medicines, stress is placed on using fresh herbs as far as logistically feasible. This involves heavy investment in infrastructure for procuring and processing herbs in bulk in season and storing the mother tinctures in sterile condition. No cost or effort is spared for ensuring this.

EXTRA-NEUTRAL ALCOHOL

Extra Neutral Alcohol (ENA) has defined specification by Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS is formerly known as ISI). The ENA procured by us is of highest purity even beyond BIS specifications which is available with only selected few distilleries.

The ENA is transported and stored in high grade stainless steel containers and storage tanks to avoid any contamination or interaction with metal during transportation or storage. Thereafter, this high grade ENA is further filtered through 0.2 micron filters of millipore which are normally used by I.V. Fluid manufacturers to eliminate all contamination and impurities if at all present.

DEMINERALIZED WATER

Demineralized water is used in the manufacturing process and for washing bottles, tubes, micropipettes, etc.

STAINLESS STEEL VESSELS

Stainless steel containers, and weights for Hydraulic presses, are used as safeguard against metallic contamination.

BOTTLING

Bottles made of neutral glass, washed with demineralized water, and dried at 150° Celsius for complete sterilization, are filled under dust-free laminar flow housing. This ensures complete purity of the contents.

LABORATORIES

SBL's laboratories are equipped with sophisticated instruments for testing the authenticity of raw materials and other inputs, for process control, and for assurance of quality of the finished products.

Some of the instruments used are: Gas Liquid Chromatograph (GLC), Thin Layer Chromatograph (TLC), Ultraviolet Spectrophotometer, High Performance Thin Layer Chromatograph (HPTLC), KF (Karl Fischer), Polerimeter, Viscometer and others.

A unique feature is microbiological laboratories for assuring absolute sterility of medicinal products.

Microbiological testing of all liquid specialities are done for checking bacterial contamination if any.
