Plant secondary metabolism plays an important role in plant growth and development, environmental adaptation, and protection against pests and diseases, and these natural products constitute the richest treasure trove of organic compounds on earth. Terpenoids are a group of hydrocarbon compounds composed of isoprene (C5) as the basic unit, and are the most diverse group of plant metabolites. Most terpenoids are secondary metabolites with important physiological and ecological functions, and some components have medicinal value.

What We Offer

Lifeasible has established a comprehensive terpenoid metabolomics platform based on LC-MS/MS for high-throughput substance detection and analysis, which can analyze and detect terpenoids in plants rapidly, accurately, and in large quantities. We have our own database of terpene standards to ensure accurate and reliable qualitative results, and we set strict quality control for each item to ensure stable and reliable technology. Since terpenoids are involved in the defense reactions of plants, this service can be used in biological function studies such as antibacterial, disease resistance, insect resistance, and chemosensory effects of plants. We provide testing services additional analysis teams for terpene metabolism components and metabolic pathways, just to provide you with accurate and professional one-stop solutions.

Sample Requirement

• Plant tissue >3 g

*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.

We Do Better

Terpenoids are the most diverse group of plant secondary metabolites with important physiological and ecological functions and numerous applications. Lifeasible creates a good service platform for researchers to analyze metabolic processes and metabolites qualitatively, quantitatively, and dynamically at a holistic level and is the right choice for you. You can apply the results of this service to the identification, quality evaluation, resource conservation, and variety selection of terpene medicinal plants, systematic study of the relationship between the metabolic properties of terpenes and the life activities of organisms, and genetic engineering of terpene metabolism to improve the resistance of plants to pests and diseases.

*If your organization requires the signing of a confidentiality agreement, please contact us by email.
