How it works

The chromatographic tests separate the named compounds and measure them against reference standards. The Cissus ketosteroids test is gravimetric: a fraction isolated by the procedure is weighed and reported as a group result.

Several of these compounds are isomers or close relatives. They are separated, and reported individually or as a sum, as your specification states.

Tests offered

Oleanolic acid and ursolic acid content by HPLC

Measures oleanolic acid and ursolic acid, two isomeric pentacyclic triterpenoid acids, by HPLC and reports each.

Ursolic acid content by HPLC

Measures ursolic acid by HPLC as a single compound.

Corosolic acid content by HPLC

Measures corosolic acid, a triterpenoid acid found in banaba leaf, by HPLC as a single compound.

Arjunolic acid content by HPLC

Measures arjunolic acid, a triterpenoid acid found in Terminalia arjuna, by HPLC as a single compound.

Betulin and betulinic acid content by HPLC

Measures betulin and betulinic acid, lupane triterpenes found in birch bark, by HPLC and reports each.

Triterpenoic acids content in Ganoderma by UPLC

Measures triterpenoic acids in Ganoderma (reishi) materials by UPLC. Tell us which acids your specification names and whether it states each or a total.

Ecdysterone content by HPLC

Measures ecdysterone (20-hydroxyecdysone), an ecdysteroid, by HPLC as a single compound.

Turkesterone content by HPLC

Measures turkesterone, an ecdysteroid, by HPLC as a single compound.

Turkesterone and ecdysterone content by HPLC

Measures turkesterone and ecdysterone in the same sample by HPLC and reports each.

Guggulsterones E and Z content by HPLC

Measures guggulsterone E and guggulsterone Z, steroids found in guggul (Commiphora mukul) resin, by HPLC and reports each.

Guggulsterones content by UV/Vis

A UV/Vis estimate of guggulsterones in guggul materials, expressed as a reference compound. It does not separate the E and Z forms; use the HPLC test for each.

Ketosteroids in Cissus quadrangularis extract by gravimetry

A gravimetric result for ketosteroids in Cissus quadrangularis extract: the fraction is isolated as the procedure sets and weighed.
