Inside Al Attar's labs and quality-gate system
A documented path from raw herb to sealed pack — six laboratory functions, an eight-stage QC workflow, and eight quality gates (QG1–QG8) governing every batch.
مسار موثّق من العشب الخام إلى العبوة المُختمة — ست وظائف مخبرية، ومسار جودة من ثماني مراحل، وثماني بوّابات جودة تحكم كل دفعة.
Six laboratory functions behind the product
Each function is documented, owned, and connected to a stage of the manufacturing line — not a marketing label.
Botanical Identification Lab
- Macroscopic + microscopic verification of dried herb identity.
- Reference herbarium cross-checks for species and plant part.
- Foreign-matter screening and morphology documentation.
Phytochemistry & Active Compounds Lab
- TLC / HPLC-style marker review (where applicable to the herb).
- Active-compound profiling against published literature.
- Lot-to-lot consistency tracking for marker compounds.
Cleaning & Sterilisation Lab
- Multi-stage washing protocol validation.
- Hygiene-controlled steam / thermal sterilisation review.
- Pre/post microbial-load comparison and documentation.
Microbiology & Safety Lab
- Total aerobic count, yeast & mould, pathogen screening.
- Heavy-metal and contaminant review per release criteria.
- Batch hold/release decisions based on lab results.
Bio-Filter Paper R&D
- Natural-fibre filter material evaluation and supplier review.
- Infusion behaviour, taste neutrality, and structural integrity.
- Food-contact compliance documentation per supplier.
Packaging & Stability Lab
- Seal integrity, moisture barrier, and oxygen-ingress checks.
- Real-time and accelerated stability observation logs.
- Label legibility, lot coding, and traceability validation.
From raw herb to sealed pack — eight controlled stages
No batch moves to the next stage until the previous stage is documented, reviewed, and signed off.

Eight quality gates · QG1 → QG8
A quality gate is a documented release point. If the gate fails, the lot is held, reworked, or rejected — never released to packaging.
Documents behind every gate
Each quality gate is governed by a numbered Standard Operating Procedure. The list below shows the document set under active maintenance.
- SOP-RAW-01Raw Material Intake & Supplier Review
- SOP-ID-02Botanical Identification Procedure
- SOP-CLN-03Cleaning, Washing & Sterilisation Cycle
- SOP-MIC-04Microbial & Contaminant Testing
- SOP-PHY-05Phytochemical Marker Review
- SOP-BLD-06Blending, Dosing & Homogeneity
- SOP-PKG-07Bio-Filter Packing, Sealing & Labelling
- SOP-REL-08Final Batch Release & Retention Sample
SOP codes shown for transparency. Full documents are internal and reviewed under pharmaceutical supervision.
What QC documentation can and cannot prove
- Documented identity, cleaning, and sterilisation of each batch.توثيق الهوية والتنظيف والتعقيم لكل دفعة.
- Microbial and contaminant release criteria before packaging.معايير الإفراج الميكروبيولوجي والملوّثات قبل التعبئة.
- Lot traceability with retained samples archived.تتبّع الدفعات مع أرشفة العيّنات.
- Phytochemical marker consistency vs. internal reference.اتساق الدلالات الكيميائية النباتية مقابل المرجع الداخلي.
- We do not claim QC results prove medical treatment of disease.لا ندّعي أن نتائج الجودة تثبت علاج الأمراض.
- We do not present external clinical trials as studies on Al Attar lots.لا نقدّم التجارب الإكلينيكية الخارجية كدراسات على دفعات العطار.
- We do not publish lab certificates as marketing claims.لا ننشر شهادات المختبر كادعاءات تسويقية.
- We do not replace independent regulatory certification.لا نستبدل الاعتماد التنظيمي المستقل.
