Saponins are a class of glycosides, which have common structural characteristics, that is, they are all connected by hydrophobic sapogenins and hydrophilic glycosyl groups through glycosidic bonds, and the relative molecular weight is generally high. Saponins exist widely in terrestrial higher plants and a small amount in marine organisms such as starfish and sea cucumbers. According to the different structures of aglycone, saponins can be divided into triterpenoid saponins and steroidal saponins

Pharmacological studies have proved that many natural saponins have significant anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, anti-aging, prevention and treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and other pharmacological activities. the effective components of some drugs which are widely used in the clinic are saponins. Based on the above background, Lifeasible has developed a platform for the detection and content determination of plant saponins to provide high-quality testing services for customers around the world. Our testing services have always been recognized by global customers with accuracy and speed.

What We Offer

• Detection and analysis of saponins in plant samples (not limited to plant varieties).
• Optimization of pretreatment for analysis of saponins in different plant samples (including optimization of existing treatment processes).
• Extraction and purification of saponins from different plant samples (including the improvement of the existing extraction process).
• Preparation of metabolites of saponins in different plants (metabolites in vivo).

*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

• Dry sample, > 3 g
• Fresh samples, > 6 g (we will provide free drying service for this type of samples)

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. [Inquiry]
