Carotenoids Analysis Service

Carotenoids are a type of organic pigments, existing in chloroplast, photosynthetic algea, and certain types of fungi and bacteria. As carotenoids can not be produced endogenously by animals, therefore, carotenoids must be incorporated through uptaking carotenoids-containing diet. MtoZ Biolabs offers carotenoids analysis service using ACQUITY UPLC/TripleQuad5500 (Waters/AB Sciex), which has the characteristics of high accuracy, specificity, and sensitivity. We guarantee accurate analysis of carotenoids even in low abundance. With our optimized sample preparation methods, interference from high-abundance dominant metabolites can be greatly reduced, thus further increasing detecting sensitivity.
