Buyer Decision Guide
Probiotics are specified by strain, potency at delivery and enumeration method. Confirm the strain designation, the CFU basis (per gram or per dose) and the overage required to hold potency through your shelf life and packing format.
- Confirm the strain designation, not only the species
- Check the CFU basis and enumeration method
- Review water activity and viability data
- Confirm cold-chain and packing requirements
How This Grade Differs
HC1253 is a specific strain and is not interchangeable with other strains of the same species. Potency, water activity and enumeration results differ by strain and by production lot, so qualification must be strain-based.
Compare these related grades before approval:
- Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus HC1983 Freeze-Dried Powder
- Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophilus FP13-03 Freeze-Dried Powder
For a substitution review, compare botanical identity, plant part, assay target, analytical method, physical form and the current offered-batch COA.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which test method should our QC lab expect to reproduce?
HPLC, with the reference standard and calculation basis recorded on the batch certificate.
How is viable count declared?
Viable count is declared as Not less than 1.0 x 10^11 CFU/g, with the strain identity recorded on the certificate.
How is lot traceability handled?
Each lot keeps batch records and a retained sample, and the certificate for LXXJ260603 carries the same batch reference used in the quotation.
What shelf life and storage conditions apply?
Two years when stored properly, kept sealed in a dry place away from light and heat.
What do you declare for moisture and ash?
Both are released against the limits on the approved specification; the measured result for your lot appears on its COA.
Can I get a sample before placing the order?
Yes. An evaluation sample is normally available before a formal order. Sample quantity, courier account and destination are confirmed at the time of request.
What is the usual lead time?
Regular production normally takes 7-15 working days after deposit, depending on stock, volume, testing and customisation requirements.
Can you produce to our own specification or packing?
Alternative assay targets, particle size, packing and private-label requirements are reviewed case by case, subject to production feasibility and a revised written specification.
