Services – Atena Industry

Research and Development

The research and development team supports customers in product development, including the creation of new solutions and formulations, at every stage:

selection of raw materials, pilot-scale production,
validazione del processo produttivo e di controllo,
conducting stability tests,
microbiological testing and chemical characterization.

All stages are carried out in Atena Industry’s in-house laboratories.

The chemical characterization of plant extracts derived from medicinal plants is optimized using sophisticated analytical systems such as HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography), combined with sensitive and specific detectors. This provides a comprehensive qualitative and quantitative understanding of all bioactive molecules within various matrices (plant raw materials, liquid extracts, dry extracts), which, in addition to being useful for developing new solutions and formulations, allows for verification of the molecular content to enable product titration.

There is close collaboration with accredited external laboratories and local universities.

Quality control

Quality control during production is crucial to delivering a top-quality product. For this reason, Atena Industry operates two in-house analytical laboratories and collaborates with accredited external laboratories and universities.

In the chemical laboratory, semi-finished and finished products are characterized using sophisticated instruments such as HPLC. High-performance liquid chromatography allows for the separation of compounds in a solution, thereby enabling continuous qualitative and quantitative analysis of the substances present in it.

The microbiological laboratory performs microbiological analyses on incoming raw materials, semi-finished products, and finished products to ensure their compliance.

Regulatory Support

This is a targeted support service designed to meet the regulatory requirements for the products supplied.

Thanks to close collaboration with industry professionals, Atena Industry is able to meet the diverse needs of customers requiring authorizations to market their products.
