How it works

The chromatographic tests separate the named compounds and measure them against reference standards. The cynarin UV/Vis test is an estimate, described in its section.

Several of these results can be a single compound or a total expressed as one compound. Tell us the basis your specification uses.

Tests offered

Oleuropein content by HPLC

Measures oleuropein, a secoiridoid glycoside, by HPLC as a single compound. USP describes olive leaf as the dried leaf of Olea europaea; its Olive Leaf and Olive Leaf Powder monographs state oleuropein on the dried basis and its Olive Leaf Dry Extract monograph states it against the labeled amount.

Hydroxytyrosol content by HPLC

Measures hydroxytyrosol, a phenolic alcohol found in olive materials, by HPLC as a single compound.

Hydroxytyrosol, tyrosol and verbascoside content by HPLC

Measures hydroxytyrosol, tyrosol and verbascoside together by HPLC, each reported against your specification.

Verbascoside content by HPLC

Measures verbascoside (acteoside), a phenylethanoid glycoside, by HPLC as a single compound.

Rosmarinic acid content by HPLC

Measures rosmarinic acid, an ester of caffeic acid, by HPLC as a single compound.

Carnosic acid content by HPLC

Measures carnosic acid, a phenolic diterpene found in rosemary and sage, by HPLC as a single compound.

Carnosol content by HPLC

Measures carnosol, a phenolic diterpene found in rosemary and sage, by HPLC as a single compound.

Phenolic diterpenes (carnosol and carnosic acid) content by HPLC

Measures carnosol and carnosic acid together by HPLC. Tell us whether your specification states each compound or their total.

Total chlorogenic acids content by HPLC

Measures chlorogenic acids by HPLC and reports their total. Chlorogenic acids are commonly the caffeoylquinic acids and, depending on the specification, can include other hydroxycinnamoylquinic acids; the compounds included in the total are agreed against your specification.

Chlorogenic acid content in artichoke leaf extract by HPLC

Measures chlorogenic acid in artichoke leaf extract by HPLC as a single compound.

Cynarin content in artichoke extract by UV/Vis

A UV/Vis estimate of cynarin in artichoke extract. The result reflects the combined absorbance of the prepared sample solution, so other caffeoylquinic acids that absorb in the same region contribute to it; it does not identify individual compounds. USP identifies cynarin as 1,3-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid.

Cynarin derivatives as chlorogenic acid by HPLC

Measures cynarin and related caffeoylquinic acid derivatives by HPLC and expresses the total as chlorogenic acid. Tell us which derivatives your specification includes.

Caffeoylquinic acids and flavones by UPLC

Measures caffeoylquinic acids and flavones together by UPLC, a profile of both groups. Tell us which compounds your specification names.

Resveratrol content by HPLC

Measures resveratrol, a stilbene, by HPLC as a single compound. Tell us whether your specification states trans-resveratrol.

Pterostilbene content by HPLC

Measures pterostilbene, the dimethyl ether of resveratrol, by HPLC as a single compound.

SDG lignan content by HPLC

Measures secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (SDG), a lignan found mainly in flaxseed, by HPLC as a single compound.

Gallic acid content by UPLC

Measures free gallic acid, a phenolic acid, by UPLC as a single compound. Free gallic acid is a different result from total polyphenols expressed as gallic acid.

Chlorogenic and caffeoylmalic acids in nettle leaf by HPLC

Measures chlorogenic acid and caffeoylmalic acid in stinging nettle leaf by HPLC and reports each, or their sum where your specification states one.

Mangiferin content by UPLC

Measures mangiferin, a xanthone glucoside found for example in mango leaf and bark, by UPLC as a single compound.
