Our Mission

At ARC, our mission is to foster research excellence, embrace technological advancements, and contribute to scientific knowledge by analyzing complex datasets, conducting experiments, and ensuring the highest standards in natural product research.

About Us

Based in Kirtipur, Bagmati Province, Nepal, Analytica Research Center (ARC) is a premier research institution dedicated to advancing knowledge and fostering innovation within the realm of natural products. Our core focus lies in the intricate world of essential oils, the therapeutic applications of aromatherapy, and the critical challenge of detecting product adulteration within this growing industry.

Driven by a commitment to scientific rigor and excellence, ARC leverages over eight years of collective expertise in data analytics and cutting-edge laboratory technologies. We understand that the increasing global demand for natural alternatives necessitates unwavering standards of quality and authenticity. To this end, we employ sophisticated, data-driven methodologies to conduct comprehensive research and provide precise analytical services.

Our team comprises trusted and expert data analysts and laboratory professionals who are passionate about uncovering the truth behind natural products. We utilize state-of-the-art equipment, including advanced techniques like LCMS and GC-MS, to meticulously analyze the chemical composition of various substances, from essential oils to hemp and cannabis extracts. This allows us to accurately quantify key components, identify potential contaminants, and, crucially, detect adulteration that can compromise product integrity and consumer trust.

Beyond essential oils, ARC offers a diverse range of analytical capabilities, including medical and perfumery analysis, as well as physical and allergy testing. Notably, we have also conducted significant research on medicinal herbs indigenous to Nepal, contributing to the understanding and potential utilization of local botanical resources. This in-depth work is complemented by our development of what we believe to be the largest essential oils database in the world, a testament to our comprehensive data collection and analytical capabilities.

Pioneered by Rakesh Satyal and a dedicated team, ARC is deeply committed to giving back to the community and fostering scientific development within Nepal. We have proudly supported various laboratories and analysis-related work for universities and government organizations in Nepal, often providing our expertise and resources free of cost to contribute to the advancement of scientific knowledge in the country.

Our long-term vision is ambitious: to develop ARC into the largest research center for essential oils and herbs globally, a hub of innovation, knowledge sharing, and unwavering commitment to quality. We strive to empower stakeholders with the confidence that comes from knowing their products are authentic and of the highest standard, contributing to a healthier and more trustworthy natural product landscape. We strongly encourage applications from underrepresented or disadvantaged groups residing in or around our Kirtipur community, reflecting our commitment to local talent and inclusivity as we work towards realizing our vision.
