Alkaloids Analysis Service

Alkaloids are nitrogen-containing heterocyclic organic compounds extensively found in a variety of plants, fungi, and some animals, playing a crucial role as secondary metabolites in these organisms. Their unique chemical structures endow alkaloids with a range of pharmacological effects including anti-inflammatory, anticancer, analgesic, and antibacterial activities, positioning them as focal points of research in drug development, agricultural science, food safety, and ecological monitoring. Analyzing alkaloids is vital for a deep understanding of their chemical properties and biological activities, and it provides essential data for uncovering their potential applications. Consequently, efficient and accurate alkaloid analysis services are of great importance.

 

MtoZ Biolabs proudly introduces our alkaloid analysis services, designed to support both scientific research and industrial advancement. We employ state-of-the-art liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) technology, which marries the high separation efficiency of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with the robust sensitivity and both qualitative and quantitative capabilities of mass spectrometry (MS). This approach allows for the effective separation and precise identification of trace alkaloid components within complex biological samples. Not only does this technology pinpoint the types of alkaloids present, but it also quantifies their concentrations, providing robust data for comprehensive studies into their structure-activity relationships, metabolic pathways, and biological activities.
