Tryptamine dosage

Tryptamines form a family of organic compounds derived from tryptophan , naturally present in various , and living organisms . These bioactive molecules play a key role in numerous metabolic processes neuromodulatory, antioxidant, or metabolic properties depending on their structure.

Tryptamine assays allow for the identification and quantification of these compounds in complex matrices (plant extracts, powders, food supplements, natural raw materials) in order to guarantee their quality, purity and regulatory compliance .

Analytical methods: HPLC and LC-MS/MS

The analysis of tryptamines relies on high-resolution chromatographic techniques, adapted to their chemical nature:

• HPLC (high-performance liquid chromatography) : allows the separation and quantification of different tryptamine derivatives in plant extracts and processed products.
• LC-MS/MS (liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry) : offers specific and ultra-sensitive identification of compounds, even in trace amounts, while limiting interference from the matrix.

reliable, traceable results , with high molecular selectivity .

Industrial and scientific applications

Tryptamine testing is applicable to many fields:

• Nutraceuticals and food supplements : quality control of natural extracts containing bioactive amines derived from tryptophan.
• Phytotherapy : evaluation of the levels of natural derivatives such as tryptamine , serotamine or tryptophol .
• Animal nutrition : monitoring of natural additives or metabolites of plant origin.
• Research and development : chemical characterization of complex extracts for biochemical or pharmacological studies.

This test can be supplemented by measuring specific tryptamine or tryptophan to obtain a complete profile of indole metabolism .

Affected matrices
