One test for multi-species mixtures.
Botanical-ID is a QAID-designed DNA microarray for identifying plant species in botanical raw materials. One run screens for many species at once, so multi-ingredient formulations can be checked in a single test.
A QAID-designed DNA microarray product: Botanical-ID microarray slides, run in your own laboratory and analyzed in the QAID App.
Botanical extracts, herbal teas, supplements, traditional medicine ingredients, and complex multi-plant formulations.
DNA-based identification can work on powdered, milled and processed plant material where macroscopic or chromatographic identity tests are inconclusive. Because DNA recovery varies with processing and extraction, suitability is confirmed for each material type with a DNA quantity test.
Filler species, adulterants, mistaken substitutions, and low-level contamination from shared processing lines.
Microarray data are analyzed in the QAID App, using product-specific workflows and reference libraries. Access to the QAID App is by subscription.
QAID Botanical-ID microarray slides, a compatible microarray scanner, and a QAID App subscription — with training and implementation support from QAID scientists.
Implementation, laboratory training, result interpretation and ongoing scientific support from QAID scientists, through QAID Training & Consulting.
