Identification of Plant Extracts

Quantification and identification of plant extracts can be particularly challenging given the extreme complexity of plant samples. While the use of High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with ultraviolet (UV) detection allows analysts to identify some plant markers, it does not provide comprehensive characterization. To better identify the components of plant extracts, in addition to UV and HPLC, Lifeasible has added ultra-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) platforms, and NMR combined with pattern recognition to meet the changing needs of the project. We utilize a variety of analytical techniques to provide a comprehensive characterization of the plant extract to be tested and to ensure the accuracy of the final assay.

Our Services

We offer NMR combined with pattern recognition to characterize and identify plant extracts

Samples of plant extracts can be analyzed by proton NMR and the resulting chemical profiles analyzed, with the peaks of each constituent in the sample readily identifiable. We have demonstrated the high spectral reproducibility of the method by focusing on comparing the standard deviations of the samples. This allows us to offer our customers a fast and efficient way to analyze the chemical profiles of plant extract samples through pattern recognition by NMR, which allows rapid and reliable analysis of the composition of complex plant extracts.

We utilize the UPLC-MS/MS platform to support the needs of plant extract detection

We provide a UPLC-MS/MS-based method for the identification of plant extracts, which can also meet your needs for high-throughput and high-sensitivity identification of secondary metabolites from different plant tissues. Meanwhile, we can establish a database of secondary metabolites from different plants by using this method, which can promote the wide application of plant extracts. The method is easy to operate and highly applicable.

• The sample was scanned with a mass-to-charge ratio step of Q1=Q3.
• The ion pairs generated in the first step were run in segments using MRM to find out the peaked ion pairs. The peaks were also de-emphasized according to the magnitude of the peak intensity.
• The peaked ion pairs found in the second step were fragmented using MRM combined with IDA and then EPI to further de-emphasize and finalize the ion pairs. At the same time, the identified ion pairs are stored in the library.
