BIOMEDINTERNATIONALRequest a sampleBiomed manufactures at two units in Andhra Pradesh. Processing, drying, testing, storage and packing are all carried out in-house, with dedicated R&D, quality control and microbiology laboratories.
Manufacturing process
Six stages, all in-house
Every stage below happens inside a Biomed unit, so each batch stays under one quality system from start to finish.
Raw material receipt
Each lot is sampled and tested before use, and recorded against its supplier and date of receipt.
Extraction & hydrolysis
Enzymatic, acid or alkaline hydrolysis releases the target molecule from cartilage, hide, fish skin, chitin or bile.
Separation & purification
Filtration, precipitation and crystallisation steps, as each product requires, bring it to its specified assay and purity.
Drying
Spray dryers for Collagen and Chondroitin; an agitated Nutsche filter dryer (ANFD) for crystalline products.
Testing & release
Finished batches are tested in the QC lab and released by QA with a Certificate of Analysis.
Packing & dispatch
Standard packs are 25 kg and 50 kg net, in fibre drums with double polyethylene liners. Other pack sizes and custom labels on request.
