Plant hormone profiling

Technical service highlights

Our plant hormone profiling services allow you to identify and measure a range of plant hormones and their metabolites from single plant tissue samples. Whether you are a company working to develop a more drought-resistant crop plant, an agriculturalist studying a fruit’s ripening process or a health scientist identifying a food’s bioactive compounds; NRC can help you understand phytohormone involvement in a plant’s biological processes.

What we offer

Investing in your own lab is expensive. Instead, access one of the most comprehensive services of its kind in the world. Our team is able to analyze and quantify 40 different plant hormones, as well as provide advice on hormone chemistry and how to design your experiments to ensure meaningful results. Through our hormone profiling and applied genomics analyses, you will gain a comprehensive view of a plant’s signalling and response, and how those affect its development and physiology.

Our services include extraction, pre-purification, compound separation, and analysis of hormones and metabolites, using analytical chemistry instrumentation, including high-performance liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry. When we pair these analytical methods with our internal standards, we can accurately quantify dozens of compounds in a single experiment.

Along with plant hormone analyses, we specialize in synthesis of abscisic acid compound (ABA) deuterium-labeled internal standards used in mass spectrometry. See a list of the chemical compounds available for sale.

Why work with us

With close to a decade of plant hormone profile experience and with experts that are recognized for service quality, efficiency and internal standards; we provide credible and economical results. You can trust us to provide cost-effective solutions to your research and development questions.

Fees
