Encapsulation Manufacturing

Precision-fill capsule production from bench to commercial scale under 21 CFR Part 111 cGMP.

Our Carrollton and Van Alstyne facilities operate fully automated capsule filling lines capable of producing vegetarian HPMC, standard gelatin, delayed-release enteric, and beadlet-filled capsules. All encapsulation runs are governed by in-process weight uniformity checks every 15 minutes, with hard capsule disintegration confirmed per USP <701> before batch release.

Quality Assurance & Verification Protocol

Every encapsulation manufacturing batch passes through a four-phase analytical verification workflow before Certificate of Analysis issuance and release.

01

Raw Material Identity & Purity

All active and excipient raw materials are identity-confirmed before release to production. COA cross-reference, organolpetic checks, and FTIR or HPLC assay performed based on ingredient risk classification.

COA cross-reference verificationFTIR spectroscopy identityHPLC potency assay (actives)Heavy metals screen (ICP-MS)
02

In-Process Quality Monitoring

Continuous in-process controls during encapsulation: fill weight uniformity sampled every 15 minutes, visual capsule closure inspection, and real-time environmental monitoring of cleanroom temperature and RH.

03

Finished Product Testing

Complete finished-goods analytical release: potency assay against label claim, microbial enumeration (TPC, E. coli, Salmonella, Yeast & Mold), disintegration, and physical attribute confirmation.

04

Certificate of Analysis (COA) Release

QA Director review and sign-off of the complete batch record and analytical results. COA issued on MNL letterhead with full traceability to raw material lot numbers. No batch ships without COA authorization.

Certificate of Analysis (COA) — Issued Per Batch

Every commercial batch receives a QA Director–signed Certificate of Analysis on MNL letterhead. The COA documents all test parameters, analytical methods, results versus specification, and full lot traceability to raw material COAs. No batch ships without COA authorization.
