In the following tabs, you will be taken step by step through the production process that every product manufactured by GMP Labs must undergo.

  • GMP takes all avenues of contamination into consideration, and thus utilizes a double door barrier entrance at our Receiving Dock to prevent contaminants from entering the facility
  • All materials that arrive at GMP are first quarantined, sampled and tested before being released by QC

Receiving

The first stage in the manufacturing process of any given product is the receipt of materials required in production.

At GMP Laboratories of America, we only use the finest materials to ensure your products meet our superior standards. This applies to the ingredients used in the product itself, along with packaging and various other raw materials.

  • All materials must go through FTNIR testing prior to being Released by QC for use at the GMP facility

Quality Control

After new materials have been received, they are quarantined until the Quality Control department can sample the materials and ensure they meet specifications. A number of tests, including microbiological testing for pathogens, are then completed. Only after the quality of materials is verified can those materials be released for use.

  • Large V-Blender: Able to handle the capacity of 700-800 kg of Raw Material for Blending (Density Dependent)
  • Small V-Blender: Able to handle the capacity of 300 kg of Raw Material for Blending (Density Dependent)
  • Pharmacy: Responsible for the Inventory and Weighing of all ingredients that enter the facility and that go into any product
  • Weigh Room: Each ingredient is weighed separately and precisely to each Order’s Requirement

Weighing & Blending

With production ready to begin, weighing materials according to the formulation of each product is the first step taken. Amounts for each ingredient are measured on our precision scales, which are calibrated regularly to ensure accuracy. The blending stage takes place immediately after the weighing of ingredients.

Blends are produced according to strict guidelines, set forth in our SOP, in our V-type blenders, ribbon blenders, and planetary mixers to ensure homogeneity. Powder products move directly from the blending stage into packaging.

Production

After the completion of a powder blend, the product moves forward to the production areas. Where exactly it goes depends upon the specific product.

  • Throughout production, QC and our trained machine operators randomly test compressed tablets to ensure the weights are being met during tablet compression

Quality Control Phase 2

Before any product is shipped from our facility, it is scrutinized in the laboratory to ensure it meets specification. Dissolution, disintegration, friability, and stability tests are just a few of the many tests completed at this point.

  • GMP Staging Areas: Manufacturing and Packaging
  • GMP has a separate Warehouse to store all Packaging Components
  • GMP has the ability to house materials that require Refrigeration
  • Finished Product Quarantine and Release Area at GMP’s Liquid Facility

Storage

Once your products have been packaged and readied to ship, they are moved into our finished product storage area. GMP Laboratories is one of the few contract manufacturers on the west coast that offers climate controlled finished product storage.

This ensures your products will remain in pristine condition until the moment they are shipped from our facility. We also have a 200 cubic foot walk-in refrigeration unit used for the storage of Probiotics and other items that require refrigeration.

  • All finished products are sent to the Shipping Department where the products are Palletized and then Shrunk Wrap. The products will wait in the Finished Product Quarantine while they await final testing results. At that time, the Finished Products are then moved to the Released Area to await pick-up.

Shipping

The last top on our tour is the shipping department. Here, fully completed products are palletized according to your specifications, and then shipped using the carrier of your choice.
