v-innovate Technologies provides one-stop high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and mass spectrometry (MS) services covering a wide variety of plant targeted metabolomics service. Our coumarins analysis services use HPLC, LC-MS/MS and GC-MS/MS technologies to deliver high resolution and reliable identification and quantification of coumarins.
Coumarins are first found in the black bean. They exist in the form of glycosides in the black bean, sweet snake whipweed, wild vanilla, orchid and other plants, and have the fragrance of fresh hay and sweet bean. Coumarins are white crystalline solid, insoluble in cold water, soluble in hot water, ethanol, ether and chloroform. Coumarins can be used in the blending of soap and various detergents, as the main component of the blending of spices, and they also can be used as electroplating brightener. In addition, coumarins have a similar structure to vitamin K, which can inhibit the synthesis of blood clotting factors in the liver, and can be used as an anticoagulant. HPLC and MS are sensitive analytical technique that enables detection, identification and quantification of a variety of coumarins by measuring and characterizing their chemical structure, even at low abundance. MS instruments combine with either LC or GC to effectively separate organic molecules from complex samples.
Since different tissues have different matrix properties, v-innovate Technologies has developed multiple novel sample preparation techniques. Our services allow the profiling of various types of coumarins, including dicoumarol, warfarin, acenocoumarol etc.
Precision: pmol
Linear: R2 > 0.99
Time: dozens of minutes, slightly different according to different ingredients
Dicoumarol | Warfarin | Acenocoumarol |
1. Fresh tissues: >1 g. If possible, samples should be frozen in liquid nitrogen right after collection, and then transferred to -80°C for storage.
2. Product samples.
At least 3 biological replicates.
High performance liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry-based profiling of coumarins enables quantitative analyses of coumarins in a faster, convenient, and sensitive manner. With decades of experience in high performance liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry services, v-innovate Technologies has a proven track record supporting diverse coumarins detection and quantification. We can meet your specific project requirements, from sampling to bioinformatics.
