The quality control plays a very important role in ensuring the quality of medicines. To check the quality of traditional products, Danapha has invested in many modern devices such as microscope with imaging software on the computer, Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GCMS), High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), Relatively Standard Liquid Chromatography (RSLC), Infrared Radiation (IR).....And qualified and experienced testing staff is trained to control the quality.

The quality control is performedfrom the input materialsthroughoutand after the extraction process, production of semi-finished and finished products.
Input materials shall comply with standards IV, JP, CP, or basic standards in Viet Nam Pharmaceutical dictionary...
Types of essential oils materials are qualified and quantified on GCMS system with high accuracy. The herbal ingredients are tested according tocriterions such as morphological description, microsurgery, powderendoscopy, microbiology and chemical qualitative reactions, quantitative method by thin layer chromatography TLC, particularly the method of quantifying and marking fingerprintby HPLC-one of existing modern and accurate methods, qualifying the active ingredients or marked substances by HPLC (Currently Danapha has qualified 15-18 the active ingredients in herbs), determiningcontent of heavy metals by AAS, measuring residues of pesticideby GCMS.
