Product sheet as published in the UNOS Biotech catalogue.
Sodium alginate 250 mg with sodium bicarbonate and calcium carbonate — a raft-former rather than a neutralising antacid, which is a genuinely different mechanism and worth explaining to a chemist who files all three together as one thing. The odd 200 ml bottle in a segment that is otherwise 170.

Sodium alginate 250 mg with sodium bicarbonate and calcium carbonate — raft-forming suspension, 200 ml.
UNO-RAFT is a Syrups & Suspensions line: SODIUM ALGINATE 250MG + SODIUM BICARBONATE 133.5MG + CALCIUM CARBONATE 80MG, supplied as 200 ML. The printed MRP on the pack is ₹240.00. UNOS BIOTECH PVT. LTD. markets it from Panchkula, Haryana and dispatches ex-Chandigarh and the rest of the country.
There are three actives in UNO-RAFT:
Combination products are where a price list stops being interchangeable with the one next to it. Two companies can both carry the base molecule; carrying this exact pairing is a narrower club, and that is the whole commercial argument for stocking it.
The trade pack is 200 ML. That is the unit that is quoted, invoiced and shipped, so it is the unit to compare against anybody else's sheet.
Syrups are sold by bottle volume and bought by carton, and the two numbers rarely line up neatly. A 100 ml bottle in a printed mono carton with a measuring cup is a different product commercially from the same syrup in a 60 ml bottle without one, even though the rate sheet shows one line. Ask which it is before comparing.
Paediatric syrups turn over fast and seasonally, and a stockist who has read the season wrong is sitting on bottles with a dating problem. Shelf life on the batch you are offered is worth asking about on every liquid order, not just the first one.
Distributors filling a specific gap rather than building a general basket.
Associates with the relevant chamber in their territory, and the chemists around those practices.
Buyers rarely order a single product from a segment. Alongside UNO-RAFT, the rest of the Syrups & Suspensions block runs:
Ask for the rate on the segment rather than on the line. It is a shorter conversation and it usually produces a better number, because the quantity across the block is what moves a quotation.
Syrup is the heaviest thing in a pharma consignment per rupee of value and the most likely to arrive damaged. Freight on a syrup order to a distant state can be a visible fraction of the landed cost, which is why a rate quoted ex-Chandigarh and a rate quoted landed are not comparable numbers on this form in particular.
Goods go by surface transport from Chandigarh. Freight is extra at actuals, which is why it belongs in a landed-cost calculation rather than as a surprise on the invoice.
Competition is narrower than in the commodity segments and continuity of supply matters more than the rate.
Availability of the exact strength and pack is usually what decides the account.
Whatever route you buy UNO-RAFT on, the paperwork is the same: a valid drug licence and a GST registration, both in the name of the firm that will appear on the invoice. A wholesale buyer usually holds Form 20B and 21B; what matters is that the licence covers the firm being billed, not an associated one.
For a third party manufacturing order there is a third document — the trademark registration or application for any brand name to be printed. That one is needed before artwork, not before dispatch, which gives it a longer runway but makes it easier to forget.
Manufacturing UNO-RAFT under your own brand is the same product on different paperwork. The composition and the pack are as shown on this page; what changes is the name on the carton and the firm on the invoice.
Liquid orals have a lower minimum order quantity than tablets in most third party manufacturing conversations, because there is no tooling to pay for. What there is instead is the bottle, the cap, the carton and the measuring cup, each with its own supplier and its own lead time. The quoted lead time on a syrup is usually a packaging lead time wearing a manufacturing label.
Four things make the first quotation a short conversation rather than a long one: the quantity, the drug licence, the GST registration and the trademark. Missing any of the four is the commonest reason a first consignment is held.
A new franchise associate. Take UNO-RAFT as part of the Syrups & Suspensions block rather than on its own. A single product does not open a chamber; a segment does.
An established distributor. If you already carry this segment, the question is whether this exact composition and pack is a gap on your current sheet. More often than not it is, because gaps are rarely at the obvious strengths.
A marketing company building its own brand. UNO-RAFT is available for third party manufacturing under your name, with the pack and artwork settled before the batch is scheduled.
MRP on the pack: ₹240.00. It is the ceiling, not what anybody in the chain pays.
Underneath the printed figure the structure is the one every franchise conversation turns on:
Those last four words are where most rate comparisons go wrong. Two offers quoting the same PTS are not the same offer if one is ex-Chandigarh with freight at actuals and the other is landed.
UNOS BIOTECH PVT. LTD. is an ISO 9001:2015 certified company. That is the only certification claimed on this site, and it is worth being precise about what it is: a quality management system standard. It is not a facility approval, it is not a regulatory clearance, and it is not a substitute for either.
You will find Indian pharma sites claiming more than they hold — plant certifications nobody issued them, approvals from authorities that do not grant them to a marketing company at all. A buyer who checks finds out, and the supplier who made the claim has a harder conversation than the one who never did. Every consignment of UNO-RAFT travels with its batch documentation, which is the thing a buyer can actually verify.
A targeted line rather than a general one: it moves where the chamber for it exists and sits quietly where it does not.
This product sits in a specialist corner of the list where volumes are modest and the writing is deliberate rather than routine.
Lead time comes back with the rate, because it depends on the quantity, the artwork and whether a batch is scheduled. Transit after dispatch is by surface from Chandigarh.
It depends on the pack and the artwork, and it is not the same figure as for a different dosage form. Send the quantity you have in mind and the minimum for this molecule and pack comes back with the rate.
No. Rates are quoted ex-Chandigarh, freight extra at actuals, GST as applicable to the product category, payment in advance. A landed cost into Chennai is the rate plus the freight.
No. That is the printed MRP on the pack. Net rate, PTR and PTS are worked against it and agreed at the time of the order.
No. A valid drug licence and a GST registration in the name of the firm being invoiced are required on every route — distribution, franchise and third party manufacturing alike.
ISO 9001:2015, and nothing beyond it. No other certification, facility approval or regulatory clearance is claimed anywhere on this site.
For rates on UNO-RAFT in Chennai, send the quantity and your district. What comes back is the net rate against the printed MRP, the minimum order quantity for this pack and a lead time. If you are asking about a monopoly appointment, say which district and you will be told plainly whether it is open. Call 8264472179.
Send the quantity you need against the pack shown above and we come back with the rate, the minimum order quantity and a lead time. Rates are quoted ex-Chandigarh, freight extra at actuals, GST as applicable to the product category, payment in advance. Expiry and breakage claims are not entertained, which is why the shelf life on the batch you are offered is worth asking about when you order rather than afterwards.
Two documents decide whether an order can be invoiced at all, and they are the same two on all three routes: a valid drug licence in the name of the firm being invoiced — commonly Form 20B and 21B for a wholesaler — and GST registration in that same firm's name. The name on the licence and the name on the invoice have to match; an order held at dispatch is almost always held because they did not.
A third party manufacturing order needs one more: the trademark registration, or the application number, for any brand name you intend to print. That is needed before artwork rather than before dispatch, which gives it a longer runway and makes it easier to forget. Cartons, foils, labels and inserts are produced against artwork you approve before a batch is scheduled, not after it.
If you are applying for a licence now, that is a normal place to be starting from. The quotation can be worked out in the meantime — only the dispatch waits on the paperwork.
Four terms carry every franchise conversation in this industry, and mixing them up is how two quotations get compared that were never comparable:
Those last four words matter more than anything else on this list. Two offers quoting the same PTS are not the same offer if one is ex-factory with freight at actuals and the other is landed at your godown. Before comparing anybody's rate with anybody else's, put both on the same basis: per tablet, bottle or tube rather than per box, since pack sizes differ; against the printed MRP, since the margins are built from it; and ex-factory rather than landed, since freight is a real number and a quotation that has absorbed it has also hidden it. The second thing worth checking is what quantity a rate assumes — a number for a full run and a number for a trial batch are both honest and they are not the same offer.
Franchise appointments are granted by district rather than by state or by city, and they cover the range rather than a single product. Both of those are deliberate. A monopoly on one line is not a territory — an associate who holds one finds the rest of the segment arriving in their market through somebody else. And the practical test of a monopoly is simple: if a company cannot tell you who else holds your district, it is not granting one.
Building a prescriber relationship takes months of visits. An associate who finds a second supplier's representative in the same waiting room has lost those months, which is the whole reason the appointment is written the way it is.
It is shorter than most people expect, and the order of the steps matters because each one depends on the last:
UNOS Biotech is a pharma marketing company. Products are manufactured at licensed third-party units and marketed under the UNOS Biotech name, or under yours. That is the normal structure for most of the PCD and franchise market in this country, and it is worth understanding rather than guessing at, because it tells you what questions are reasonable.
Reasonable: ask for the composition, the pack, the printed MRP, the batch documentation that travels with the goods, and the shelf life on what you are being offered. Not reasonable, and a warning sign when a supplier answers it anyway: asking a marketing company for a plant certification it does not hold. A company that will claim one it has not got will also claim a lead time it cannot meet.
Goods move by surface transport from Chandigarh unless something else is agreed, and the packing is specified for that journey rather than for an ideal one. Every consignment travels with its batch documentation. Composition, pack size and printed MRP are exactly as shown on this page — those are the details on the pack itself.
UNOS BIOTECH PVT. LTD. is an ISO 9001:2015 certified company. That is a quality management system standard, and it is the only certification claimed anywhere on this site. No plant certification, foreign regulatory approval or government endorsement is claimed, because none is held.
The restraint is deliberate and it protects everybody downstream. A distributor who repeats a certification their supplier invented is the one standing in front of the buyer when it gets checked. For anything clinical, what a product contains is stated on the pack, and how it should be used is a matter for a registered medical practitioner and the pack insert — not for a supplier's catalogue page.
