Once in the laboratory, the water is put through a series of additional controls, which involve checkings of its physical, chemical and microbiological parameters (density, pH... sodium, magnesium, potassium, e.coli, streptoccus, etc.). If the parameters are conformed to the pharmaceutical requirements then water is cold microfiltered and diluted with a pure spring water to renderr it "isotonic". After a last series of controls, it is filled into glass ampoules, glass bottles or aerosol containers, However, if the water fails to meet the strict quality control standards, the entire batch is discarded. The laboratory processing is carried out in a complete sterile environnement and in accordance with european pharmacopoeia.
Production lots are sampled and analyzed. They are quarantined until they approved to be released to the market. Each lot has its own certificate of analysis.
The processing of sea water without dilution with spring water produces the Original Quinton Hypertonic™ formula at a mineral concentration of 33,000 mg per liter, a partial dilution produces either Duplase at 21,000 mg per liter or Original Quinton isotonic ™ (former Quinton plasma) at 9,000 mg per liter.
