Digitoxigenin (cardiac glycoside) assay

Digitoxigenin is a steroidal aglycone derived from the degradation of cardenolide glycosides such as digitoxin, which are naturally present in plants like foxglove (Digitalis spp.). Although its pharmaceutical use is regulated, its measurement is relevant in non-medical contexts for monitoring the presence of residues in plant extracts, assessing the purity of technical substances, or in environmental toxicology studies.

Digitoxigenin assay is performed using liquid chromatography (HPLC or UPLC), generally coupled with mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to ensure specific and sensitive detection, even at trace levels. This assay is suitable for plant matrices, natural extracts, or technical supports requiring precise identification of active steroidal compounds.

At YesWeLab , we collaborate with a carefully selected network of laboratories, most of which are certified and/or accredited (ISO 17025, COFRAC, etc.). These laboratories are chosen based on your specific needs, the matrices to be analyzed, and the required analytical techniques or methods.
If you have any particular requirements, please do not hesitate to specify them in your request: our scientific team will do everything possible to respond accurately and promptly.
Since 2020, numerous manufacturers, distributors, and engineering firms have entrusted us with the management of their analyses, sending us their samples through our digital platform.
