Marker compounds: copper chlorin e6, copper isochlorin e4

IUPAC name: copper;trisodium;3-[20-(carboxylatomethyl)-18-(dioxidomethylidene)-8-ethenyl-13-ethyl-3,7,12,17-tetramethyl-2,3-dihydroporphyrin-23-id-2-yl]propanoate

How Vanguard tests Sodium copper chlorophyllin

Method for the $250 identity, purity and quantity test: HPLC-UV assay of copper chlorins (copper chlorin e6, copper isochlorin e4), LC-MS identity, ICP-MS copper content, against a reference standard, with results in 3 to 5 business days.

The USP monograph covers identity by UV-visible spectroscopy, total copper and ionic copper by atomic absorption, sodium by flame photometry, nitrogen content, iron, residue on ignition, pH, fluorescence, microbial limits, and loss on drying. Full testing to the USP Chlorophyllin Copper Complex Sodium monograph is available and quoted.

What's reported

  • Metal content by ICP-MS, against the label or specification
  • Purity, as percent of total peak area
  • Quantity, against the label claim
  • Identity, reported as match or no match against the reference standard
  • With monograph testing (quoted): the monograph’s tests against its limits

Questions about Sodium copper chlorophyllin testing

Is the $250 test the same as USP monograph testing?

No. The $250 test covers identity, purity and quantity by HPLC-UV for the copper chlorins, LC-MS for identity and ICP-MS for copper. Full testing to the USP Chlorophyllin Copper Complex Sodium monograph is available and quoted.

Is chlorophyllin the same as chlorophyll?

No. Chlorophyllin is a water-soluble, semi-synthetic derivative in which magnesium is replaced by copper and the phytol tail is removed. It is a mixture, mainly copper chlorin e6 and copper isochlorin e4.

Why is free (ionic) copper measured separately?

Most of the copper should be bound inside the chlorin ring. The USP monograph limits unbound ionic copper, which is measured separately from total copper.
