Description
BOTANICAL EXCIPIENT POWDER
Lycopodium clavatum Spore Powder
Lycopodium spore powder is supplied as the cleaned, dried spores of Lycopodium clavatum. The spores are naturally very fine and free-flowing, which is why this material is used as a carrier, as a dusting medium and as a reference material for powder-flow work. The purchasing definition is the particle size, the moisture and the absence of visible contamination.

Buyer Decision Guide
Agree the particle size, the moisture limit and the contamination criteria before approval, since this grade is normally specified on physical rather than chemical grounds. Confirm whether the buyer requires a density or flow figure on the certificate, as these are the parameters most often controlled in use.
- Particle size and moisture stated on the certificate of analysis
- Confirmed as spore material, not a plant extract
- Density or flow figures available on request for the offered batch
- Microbiological status stated on the certificate
- COA, specification sheet and safety data sheet accompany each shipment
- Regulatory status, permitted uses and labelling are the buyer’s responsibility for the destination market
How This Grade Differs
Lycopodium spore powder is distinct from a Lycopodium plant extract. The spore powder is the physical spore material, used for its flow and carrying behaviour, and it contains no extraction step. The two are different articles and are not interchangeable in use.
For a substitution review, compare botanical identity, plant part, assay target, analytical method, physical form and the current offered-batch COA.
