Based on the LC-MS/MS platform, v-innovate Technologies use analytical standard detection methods to perform accurate qualitative and quantitative analysis on the pre-screened and validated or identified potential biomarkers (chlorophyll).

Chlorophyll is a type of green pigment contained in higher plants and all other organisms capable of photosynthesis. There are many types, such as chlorophyll a, b, c and d, f, as well as bacterial chlorophyll and green bacteria chlorophyll. Chlorophyll absorbs most of the red and violet light, but reflects green light, so chlorophyll appears green. However, chlorophyll is not very stable and can be decomposed by light, acid, alkali, oxygen, and oxidants. The chlorophyll molecule contains a porphyrin ring like a head, a phytol like a tail, and a magnesium atom in the center of the porphyrin ring. Chlorophyll molecules absorb visible light through changes in single and double bonds in the porphyrin ring, and phytol is inserted into the thylakoid membrane. Chlorophyll plays a central role in the light absorption stage of the photosynthesis process of plants, and participates in the global carbon cycle through this process. Chlorophyll is also very important to the human body. It has many uses such as hematopoiesis, providing vitamins, maintaining enzyme activity, detoxification, and disease resistance.

Applications of chlorophyll analysis

The study of plant growth and development, such as differentiation, maturation, senescence, and apoptosis.

Research on agronomic traits and coloring mechanism.

Research on Light Morphology.

Medical health research such as detoxification and disease resistance Uncover plant's responses to biotic and abiotic stresses.

Targeted metabolomics based on mass spectrometry can quantitatively analyze chlorophyll in a more sensitive and more accurate manner. With decades of experience in mass spectrometry services, v-innovate Technologies supports the qualitative and quantification of multiple types of chlorophyll, and has a good record. We can meet your specific project requirements from sample extraction and detection to bioinformatics.
