Analysis Tools Application
Asclepius Herbal
Consultancies have developed a set of Microsoft Windows® based
applications to aid regular analysis procedures associated with the
production of herbal medicines. The software, which was originally
developed as an integral part of the VCLF Percolation System control
software* has been released as a stand-alone package which can be
applied to any production system.

Solids Analysis Tool
A
simple but valuable tool which automatically calculates and stores
total soluble solids analysis results from laboratory figures.
Menstrum Retention
Factor
Used in association with a simple laboratory test, this tool
calculates menstrum retention levels for comminuted herbal material.
The tool is designed to be used in association with percolation
extraction processes to aid with calculating marc/menstrum
proportions to be used in production.
The
menstrum retention data can also be updated with analysis figures
from production measurements in order to compensate for minor
deviations from the laboratory analysis results. This ensures that
the application database can provide accurate up-to-date reference
figures.
Reynolds Calculation
Reynolds number analysis can be applied in a percolation production
process to calculate the linearity of menstrum flow through the
marc. This provides information as to the 'tracking tendency' of the
packed material and also indicates whether 'clogging' of the
percolation cylinder is likely to occur.
Using data generated from a simple laboratory process the program
estimates the Reynolds number for a specific packing density
(measured as g/l) for a specific pre-soaked mark.
*Used in association with the VCLF III Percolation System Software,
the Analysis Tools integrate seamlessly with the production control
data. Utilising the same database for production data-storage and
analysis results ensures that all relevant data related to a
specific product is directly accessible. The data is stores in SQL
format, which makes the information readily available for use in
other software applications.
VCLF
Percolation System Control Program
Asclepius
Consultancy’s VCLF percolation system reduces the amount of labour
intensive operations in the production process. The control program
is Microsoft Windows® based and has been developed to give a user-friendly
graphical presentation of the percolation process for easy
monitoring of the production process.
Furthermore,
percolation run-data is logged into the computer automatically and
can also be supplemented with user defined values.
