Why Use Kalmegh Botanical Reference Material?

Kalmegh (Andrographis paniculata) is widely used in Ayurvedic and herbal-product testing. A characterized botanical reference material provides laboratories with a defined plant material for comparison during identity testing, chromatographic fingerprinting, and raw-material quality assessment.

BioTrace Labs' Kalmegh Botanical Reference Material is intended for analytical and research applications including HPTLC profiling, botanical authentication, phytochemical comparison, and herbal raw-material standardization.

HPTLC Analysis Profile

HPTLC compliant, using an optimized kalmegh HPTLC fingerprint method
Detection under UV 254 nm / 366 nm, plus derivatization
Produces a reproducible andrographolide fingerprint for identity confirmation

Applications

Herbal raw-material standardization and kalmegh botanical authentication
Quality control laboratories running comparative phytochemical analysis
Academic and industrial research using Andrographis paniculata BRM
Detecting excess stem content diluting andrographolide levels, since kalmegh's active markers are concentrated in the leaf and commercial material is often padded with lower-potency stem

Frequently asked questions

What is Kalmegh Botanical Reference Material?

Kalmegh Botanical Reference Material is a certified Andrographis paniculata botanical reference material used to confirm identity and authenticity through HPTLC fingerprinting and phytochemical comparison.

What is a kalmegh HPTLC fingerprint used for?

A kalmegh HPTLC fingerprint is a chromatographic profile of andrographolide, neoandrographolide, and 14-deoxyandrographolide used to confirm that a raw material is genuine Andrographis paniculata and free from substitution.

How does this BRM support botanical authentication of kalmegh?

It provides a verified comparison standard against which an unknown kalmegh sample's HPTLC or phytochemical profile can be matched, confirming species identity and detecting mislabeling.

What are the key phytochemical markers in this Andrographis paniculata reference material?

The primary marker is andrographolide, a diterpene lactone, along with related compounds such as neoandrographolide and 14-deoxyandrographolide, which together form kalmegh's characteristic fingerprint.

Can this BRM detect excess stem content or low-potency kalmegh material?

Yes. Comparing a test sample's HPTLC profile and andrographolide fingerprint against this Andrographis paniculata reference material can help flag material that has been diluted with stem or other low-potency plant parts, since andrographolide is concentrated mainly in the leaf.

Is this BRM available in bulk from a supplier?

Yes, BioTrace Labs is a kalmegh reference material supplier offering both standard 5g/10g packs and bulk quantities, contact us via “Ask a Question” for bulk or custom orders.

Does this BRM come with a Certificate of Analysis (CoA)?

Yes, a Certificate of Analysis confirming the HPTLC fingerprint and identity of each batch is available on request via the Download CoA option.

How should this BRM be stored to preserve its andrographolide content?

Store it in a cool, dry place inside its original airtight, light-resistant packaging, away from direct light and humidity, since andrographolide is sensitive to both heat and light.

Do you ship Kalmegh Botanical Reference Material within the USA?

Yes. BioTrace Labs is a US-based supplier of Kalmegh Botanical Reference Material, so US laboratories and manufacturers can order without the customs delays or import paperwork that come with overseas suppliers.
