A large class of small molecular organic compounds in plants that are not necessary for plant growth and development, such as sterols, alkaloids, terpenoids, flavonoids, and phenols, are called plant secondary metabolites. Among them, phytosterols and triterpenoid saponins are important components of plant secondary metabolites and have the functions of regulating biological system immunity, anti-hyperglycemia, anti-cancer, and other physiological processes.

Phytosterols and triterpenes have important physiological functions, Lifeasible has built a mature detection platform to provide customers with accurate and rapid detection services for plant sterols and triterpenes. Lifeasible has never been satisfied with the status quo, and our team of experts has been developing more scalable service content.

What We Offer

• Determination of triterpenes and sterols in plant samples.
• Preparation of triterpenes in plant samples.
• Detection of biosynthetic enzyme activity of phytosterols and triterpenoids include squalene synthase (SS), squalene epoxidase (SE), oxidosqualene cyclases (OSCs), glucosyltransferase (CT), and so on.
• Screening and identification of key enzyme genes for phytosterol and triterpenoid secondary biomass metabolism.

*The testing project is constantly updated, please contact our staff by email for more up-to-date and relevant information.

After receiving the order, we will carry out your project as soon as possible and at the end of the project, we will provide a detailed technical report, including relevant experimental steps, relevant parameters of the experiment, original pictures, original data, and accurate and reliable experiment results.

Sample Requirement

Considering the transportation and experimental accuracy, this project only supports dry sample testing (> 4 g). If you have any special needs, please contact us by email.

*The experimental samples will not be returned, please back them up by yourself. Before sampling, it is necessary to set up the control group and the experimental group, and each group is suggested to repeat more than 3 times.
*Quick-frozen preservation with liquid nitrogen can minimize the leakage time of plant samples at room temperature.
*There is no restriction on plant varieties. For varieties with special requirements or rare varieties, please contact our staff for more information.
