How it works

Each test separates the named compounds by liquid chromatography and measures them against reference standards.

Several of these results can be expressed on more than one basis, for example a sum of named compounds or a total expressed as one compound. Tell us the basis your specification uses.

Tests offered

Flavonol glycosides content in ginkgo by HPLC

Measures ginkgo flavonoids by HPLC, reported as flavonol glycosides. The USP Powdered Ginkgo Extract monograph calculates flavonoids as flavonol glycosides and lists quercetin, kaempferol and isorhamnetin reference standards. Tell us whether the material is leaf or extract.

Ginkgolic acids content by HPLC

Measures ginkgolic acids in ginkgo leaf and extract by HPLC, for specifications that set a limit for them. The USP Powdered Ginkgo Extract monograph lists a ginkgolic acids reference standard.

Ginsenosides content by UPLC

Measures individual ginsenosides by UPLC. USP calculates total ginsenosides for Asian ginseng root and rhizome (Panax ginseng) as the sum of ginsenosides Rg1, Re, Rf, Rb1, Rc, Rb2 and Rd. Tell us the ginseng species and which ginsenosides your specification names.

Ginsenosides expressed as ginsenoside Rb1 in ginseng dry extract by HPLC

Measures ginsenosides in ginseng dry extract by HPLC and expresses the total as ginsenoside Rb1. This is a different basis from a sum of individually measured ginsenosides, so tell us which basis your specification uses.

Withanolides content by HPLC

Measures withanolides in ashwagandha by HPLC. USP describes ashwagandha root as the dried mature root of Withania somnifera and calculates withanolides as the sum of withanolide aglycones, calculated as withanolide A, and withanolide glycosides, calculated as withanoside IV.

Boswellic acids by UPLC

Measures boswellic acids in Boswellia serrata by UPLC. USP describes Boswellia serrata as the oleogum resin of the tree and specifies the keto derivatives 11-keto-beta-boswellic acid and 3-acetyl-11-keto-beta-boswellic acid. Tell us which boswellic acids your specification names.

Total beta-boswellic acids by UPLC

Measures beta-boswellic acids in Boswellia serrata by UPLC and reports their total. This is a different result from the USP keto derivative specification; tell us which your specification uses.

Protopanaxadiol content by HPLC

Measures protopanaxadiol, the aglycone of the protopanaxadiol-type ginsenosides, by HPLC as a single compound.

Withanolide glycosides in Shoden powder by HPLC

Measures withanolide glycosides in Shoden ingredient powder by HPLC. Tell us which compounds your specification names and whether it states each or a total.
