COLLECTION

These materials start as a seed and a field. The majority of the materials needed to create allergen extracts are planted, cultivated, and collected as any other agricultural crop. The allergy industry of ALK is a very green industry and consists of a lot of farming.

MANUFACTURING STANDARDS
|
ALK’s success in creating the source materials lies in a completely different arena – the extensive testing, documentation, and quality control measures. All pollen batches undergo a number of tests and quality checks before being released for manufacturing. Most importantly, species identity determinations are made by ASM experts using taxonomic keys and herbarium specimens. Additionally, the pollen is examined under a microscope to further certify the collected batch for identity, purity, and integrity.
