Corydalis-Derived Active · Commercial Supply

Tetrahydropalmatine (THP) / Corydalis

High-purity tetrahydropalmatine for formulation, product development, and commercial manufacturing.

Quality Botanical Imports supplies THP Isolate as a defined single-compound botanical active derived from Corydalis yanhusuo.

Material is evaluated with batch-specific analytical documentation to give formulators and sourcing teams greater visibility into the ingredient being supplied.

Defined Botanical Active

A Defined Active, Not Just a Corydalis Extract

A generic Corydalis extract does not define how much tetrahydropalmatine is present.

Botanical extracts can vary according to species, plant material, manufacturing process, and production lot. For formulators who need substantially greater control over THP content, an isolate provides a more defined single-compound ingredient format.

QBI supplies tetrahydropalmatine as THP Isolate rather than incorporating a fixed assay percentage into the product name. Exact analytical results are batch-specific and are reported in the applicable documentation.

Development Through Commercial Scale

THP Isolate Supply for Formulators

QBI supports evaluation, product-development, and commercial sourcing requirements for THP Isolate.

Evaluation & R&D

Request specifications, available analytical documentation, and sample options for formulation screening and product-development work.

Commercial Supply

Contact QBI for current inventory, kilogram-scale availability, lead time, commercial pricing, and ongoing supply requirements.

Testing Requirements

Buyers with specific potency, contaminant, or documentation requirements can establish the required testing scope before the commercial order is finalized.

Qualification Process

How QBI Qualifies THP Isolate

1

Supplier Qualification

QBI evaluates manufacturing partners based on production capability, documentation quality, technical responsiveness, commercial reliability, and their ability to support representative material for evaluation.

2

Analytical Evaluation

Supplier specifications and certificates of analysis are reviewed alongside independent analytical testing where appropriate when qualifying material.

3

Commercial Lot Review

Commercial material is reviewed with documentation applicable to the lot being offered or supplied. Exact THP assay may vary between qualified production lots.

Analytical Documentation

Potency Testing and Full-Panel Testing

Potency verification and contaminant testing answer different questions.

QBI's THP Isolate documentation includes analytical information applicable to the tetrahydropalmatine content of the material being supplied.

Full contaminant testing is not represented as automatically applying to every QBI inventory lot.

When a current full-panel result is available for the offered lot, it can be provided with the applicable documentation. For commercial orders of 1kg or more, additional full-panel testing can also be arranged when required, with laboratory testing charged at pass-through cost.

Testing scope and lead time should be established before the commercial order is finalized when specific requirements are important to the application.

Additional Testing May Include

  • Heavy metals
  • Pesticides
  • Residual solvents
  • Microbial testing
  • Other analyses appropriate to the material or intended application

Lot Documentation

Batch-Specific Documentation

Documentation available for THP Isolate may include:

  • Batch-specific certificate of analysis
  • Independent THP assay
  • Available contaminant-screening results
  • Safety data sheet
  • Storage and handling information
  • Country-of-origin information
  • Packaging and availability information
  • Additional supplier declarations where applicable

The documentation package may vary by lot, order quantity, testing status, and customer requirements.

Why QBI

Why Source THP Isolate Through QBI?

Defined Ingredient

THP Isolate provides a purified single-compound format rather than an undefined Corydalis extract.

Batch-Specific Review

Analytical information is evaluated in relation to the material and production lot being offered.

Commercial Scale

QBI supports formulation evaluation through kilogram-scale and ongoing commercial sourcing.

U.S.-Based Support

QBI provides domestic communication, documentation support, sample coordination, testing coordination, and purchasing assistance.

Frequently Asked Questions

THP Isolate FAQ

What does “THP Isolate” mean?

QBI uses “isolate” to describe a high-purity, single-compound botanical ingredient rather than a standardized multi-component Corydalis extract.

The exact tetrahydropalmatine assay is batch-specific and is reported in the applicable analytical documentation.

Is every batch the exact same potency?

No. Analytical results may vary between production lots. QBI therefore identifies the material as THP Isolate and provides the applicable batch-specific analytical result rather than incorporating a fixed percentage into the product name.

Does every lot receive full-panel contaminant testing?

Not necessarily. Available full-panel testing is provided when applicable to the offered lot. For commercial orders of 1kg or more, additional full-panel testing can be arranged when required and charged at pass-through laboratory cost.

Can I request a THP Isolate sample?

Yes. Submit a sample and documentation request with your intended application and estimated commercial quantity. QBI can confirm current sample availability and applicable documentation.

Is kilogram-scale THP Isolate available?

Commercial buyers can contact QBI for current inventory, kilogram-scale availability, lead time, documentation requirements, and commercial pricing.
