Description

Pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) are hepatotoxic compounds naturally produced by certain plants.
Measuring the pyrrolizidine alkaloid content is essential in plant extracts, herbal teas, and herbal supplements to ensure consumer safety.
Analysis is performed by LC-MS/MS with separation of the main PAs (retronecin, otonecin, etc.).
Sample matrices include herbal teas, plant extracts, honeys, and dietary supplements.

At YesWeLab , we collaborate with a rigorously 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 analytical techniques or methods required.
