Metabolism in Plants and other Biological Matrices
Metabolism in Plants and other Biological
In its GLP-compliant facility, Mavens offers several metabolism tests employing 14C radiolabeled compounds. Absorption, translocation, and metabolism in plants; route and rate of degradation in soil/sediment systems; metabolism and tissue distribution in animal and cattle systems are among the studies available.
The experiments are conducted in specifically designed plant growth chambers, cages, and simulated incubators for metabolic research.
To quantify residues and identify metabolites, researchers used radio-HPLC, LSC, LC-MS/MS, GC-MS, combustion, and trap analysis.
Our expertise include:
Handling radiolabeled molecules
Metabolite identification
Determination of distribution in the crop / tissues
Excretion monitoring
Mass balance
Monitoring of chiral conversions
Re-purification when radiolabeled molecules are unstable or impure
