Micro-analytical lab

We are a multidisciplinary micro-biotic laboratory that provides an array of high-quality testing capabilities by performing materials analyses and failure analyses on a variety of products. Because quality is our top priority we take special care in efficient sample management and quick turnaround times. Our on-site Microbiologists testing capabilities extend to:

• Pathogens
• Total coliforms
• Ecoli
• Salmonella
• Enterobacteriacea
• Staphylococcus aureus
• Yeast and Mold
• Enumerations
• Lactic Acid Bacteria
• Pro-biotic
• Total Aerobic Plate Count

We gravity feed raw products directly into one of our custom designed blenders. This process reduces atmospheric contact and contamination. All products are blended according to our strict guidelines, which are set forth in our MBRs and SOPs. We offer an array of blending techniques to ensure correct homogeneity and batch quality.

Powder Blending Capabilities

• Powder Dry Blending
• Pre-Mix Bends
• Jar and Canister Filling
• Bulk Powders
• Single Serve Sachets

Two-Piece Hard Shell Capsule Filling

We utilize a variety of Bosch H&K machinery as they are robust, high performing, and have approved dosage techniques with good weight variations that can fill a wide range of products. The machinery’s ease-of-use and adaptability make them an ideal choice for our lean manufacturing processes.

Unit Dose Capabilities

A primary way that we optimize our production output is through the design of our compression and encapsulation suites. Each suite is equipped with a separate air handling system for filtration, ventilation, heating, cooling, humidification, and dust collection. This allows us to ensure quality by eliminating dust proliferation and cross-contaminations.

To uphold our lean philosophy and regulatory processes, each of our operators is trained in the following: machinery assemblage, operation, dismantling and cleaning. In addition, each operator runs analyses on weight, hardness, friability, and disintegration, while measuring cycle times for efficiency. By having each operator act as mechanical engineer, operator, and quality controller, we produce less waste and increase efficiencies.

Granulation

We utilize a specialized granulation process to change the density and size of some materials to facilitate optimal flow in the manufacturing process and ensure shorter disintegration times of the finished product.

Granulation Capabilities

• Fluid-Bed Granulation (Flow coater)
• High Shear Granulation
•  

Tablet Compression

By using only Stokes brand presses, we can capitalize on part interchangeability, operator knowledge, and consistency, which complement our clean philosophy.

Tablet Coating

Our coating operations utilize both ‘perforated pans’ for water-based solutions and ‘conventional pans’ for solvent-based solutions. However, we prefer to use our high-coater machine, which has a perforated pan and mixing baffles to ensure a uniform mix of tablet cores and equal distribution of the coating material with regulated temperatures. Similar to the rest of our manufacturing operations, our coating department is capable of both large and small commercial batches. We offer the following customized coating solutions for all customer inquiries:

Product identity through color

Palatability and bioavailability

Elegant and clean product

Increase or provide moisture barriers

Controlled release coatings (Enteric pH delivery system)

To uphold our clean philosophy and regulatory processes, each of our operators is trained in the following: machinery assemblage, operation, dismantling and cleaning. In addition, each operator runs analyses on weight, hardness, friability, and disintegration (DT), while measuring cycle times for efficiency. By having each operator act as mechanical engineer, operator, and quality controller, we produce less waste and increase efficiencies.

Our turnkey offerings also include our state of the art packaging capabilities. We have a full range of packaging solutions to help maintain product safety, integrity, protective barriers, and brand image. This department consists of several high-speed packaging lines capable of bottling, powder-filling, blister-packing, single-serve sachet, and pack off options.

Packaging Solutions

Bottles: GSN offers an array of different sizes of glass and plastic bottles. We are capable of inkjet coding and foil induction sealing.

Single Serve Powder Sachets: GSN offers customized solutions for small easy-open dose sachets.

Blister Packs: GSN offers pharmaceutical-style packaging in the form of blister packs. These packs provide actual dosage forms, stability, and consistency. We work with a full range of films and foils to ensure product compliance and convenience.

Pack off: Once a product is finished, we offer an array of customized options for pack off.

Powder Packaging: Jars, canisters, and single serve sachets.

We are always open to new ideas and upcoming trends in packaging. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, talk to us and we will try and figure it out for you!

Our shipping and receiving department excels in coordinating direct procurement processes for all items in the product life-cycle, from raw materials and ingredients to machinery parts to the finished products. They are specialists in identifying products that are ready to be shipped and arrange the features of the shipment in order to meet customer requirements including packing/palletizing, carrier selection to meet delivery deadlines, and quality checking of the shipment.
