Characterisation level Level 1 Mass balanceFor small molecules, identity is confirmed by IR, MS, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR, purity by HPLC (min. 95%) and assay by mass balance (min. 90%); for peptides and similar molecules, identity is confirmed by mass spectrometry (ESI-MS and MALDI-TOF) and IR, purity by HPLC (min. 95%) and assay by mass balance, reported for information only.* Level 2 Mass balance + qNMRFor small molecules, in addition to the Level 1 analyses, the assay is verified by qNMR, an orthogonal method independent of chromatography; for peptides and similar molecules, Level 2 is not available. Analytical documentation supporting qualification as an in-house primary standard under ICH Q7 (§11.17-11.18).

* Mass balance is performed on every molecule. The only exceptions are cases where the chemistry of the molecule prevents it, for example oils and highly volatile substances, on which some of the required measurements cannot be made: in those cases the CoA states how the content was assigned.

The most important form of inositol, a cyclic sugar alcohol isolated in 1850 by Johann Joseph Scherer: it is part of membrane phospholipids and of cell messengers such as IP3, and in plants it forms phytic acid, the phosphorus store of seeds.

Did you know?The prefix myo- means muscle, because it was isolated from muscle extracts. It was once called vitamin B8, but the body can make it, so it is not a true vitamin.

Frequently asked questions

Is mass balance always performed?

Yes, on every molecule. The only exceptions are cases where the chemistry of the molecule prevents it: for example oils and highly volatile substances, on which some measurements (such as thermogravimetry) cannot be made. In those cases the CoA states which method was used to assign the content.

Can I ask for a different quantity?

Yes. The quantities are only suggestions: choose "Other" and enter the milligrams or grams you need.

Which level should I choose?

Level 1 is enough for most routine testing. Level 2 adds an independent qNMR content value and is meant for labs that need to qualify an in-house primary standard. For peptides and similar molecules, Level 2 is not available.

When will I get the quote?

Within 24 working hours, with price, availability and delivery time.

Need a molecule you cannot find?
