Sterols Content Testing in Pollen
Sterols are steroid compounds containing hydroxyl groups, and phytosterols are mainly glutathione, soy sterols, and rape sterols. Phytosterols are widely present in pollen and are an important component of plant cell membranes. Sterols can reflect pollen's nutritional and medicinal values, including cardiovascular system disease prevention, tumor inhibition, metabolic regulation, and anti-aging function. The type and content of sterols in pollen vary according to pollen type. Considering the health effects of sterols, the detection of sterols in pollen is essential for assessing the nutritional value and nutritional applications of pollen.
What We Offer
Lifeasible provides sterol detection services based on high-performance gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry(HPGC-MS), which can achieve the characterization and quantification of sterols in pollen with high sensitivity and accuracy. The mainstream and high-quality testing instrument and platform are the basis of our assay offering. The entire detection process is standardized, minimizing errors in the detection process. In addition, our experienced botanical experts are involved in the steps that require manual handling, ensuring professionalism and complementarity. Our assay for sterols in pollen covers as wide a range of items as possible, as shown in the figure below. If you have any special testing needs or questions about the assay, you can always contact our experts for a customized service.

Service Flow
1. Sample Requirements
- Fresh flowers, >5g;
- Pollen from fresh flowers or dried pollen from different families, >1g.
*Quick freeze storage with liquid nitrogen minimizes leakage time of plant samples at room temperature.
*Experimental samples are non-returnable; please make your backups. Control and experimental groups need to be set up prior to sampling, and it is recommended to have more than 3 replicates per group.
*No restrictions are placed on plant species. For species with special requirements or rare species, please contact our staff for more information.
*For experiments requiring special testing, please feel free to contact our staff for a bespoke testing service.
2. HPGC-MS
We have high-performance gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (HPGC-MS) to ensure high accuracy, sensitivity, and throughput in determining sterol content in pollen.
3. Sterols Content Analysis
The final analysis report you receive will be written by botanical experts and will include detailed results of the analysis of the type and content of sterols in pollen. In addition, recommendations for the development and nutrition of sterols in pollen will also be made by the experts and listed at the end of the report for your reference.
