Seaweed Multi-component Quantitative Profiling Services
Assemblage Analysis: Tapping into the Mysteries of Seaweed
Seaweeds are a rich source and are widely used as an ingredient in food, cosmetics, and fertilizers, as well as for the production of other energy substances. Creative Biolabs keeps abreast of the times and provides one-stop seaweed analysis services to support our clients' research on seaweed. Based on a variety of advanced analytical techniques we provide efficient and accurate seaweed analysis results to ensure 100% client satisfaction.
At Creative Biolabs, we have a long history of actively exploring leading-edge biomass testing and analysis solutions for Lignocellulose, seaweed, and other Biomass. Seaweeds contain a wide range of active ingredients such as fatty acids, phytohormones, phenolics, and more. Its species, geography, season, climate, etc., all affect the content of each component. Accurate and reliable seaweed analysis is very important. We have developed a variety of analytical techniques for the analysis of various components in seaweed. Our goal is to help scientists and companies around the world conduct detailed and comprehensive research on seaweeds.
-
Ion chromatography
We use ion chromatography to accurately characterize amino acids, carbohydrates, phenolics, vitamins (water-soluble and fat-soluble), phytohormones, pigments, and more. This method has the advantages of sensitivity, rapidity, good selectivity, and simultaneous determination of multiple components.
-
Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS)
We use LC-MS to detect the content of aflatoxin. The method applies to a wide range of sample types with high sensitivity and selective accuracy.
-
Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (CG-MS)
We use GC-MS to characterize fatty acids in various types of samples. The GC-MS assay has strong quantitative capability and application range, with good assay repeatability.
-
Inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES)
We characterize the content of major and minor elements in seaweeds by the ICP-OES technique. This method is characterized by easy operation, low detection limit, and simultaneous analysis of multiple elements.
-
Elemental analyzer
We analyze the content of five elements, H, N, S, C, and O, by the elemental analyzer.
-
Size exclusion chromatography (SEC)
We use SEC to detect the alginate molecular weight.
At Creative Biolabs, in addition to comprehensive seaweed analysis, we offer the following ingredient analysis solutions with strict quality standards and high efficiency.

Published data
Seaweeds are biologically active substances with a variety of potential applications in cosmetics, food, and industry. Analyzing ash, elements, fatty acids, etc., in individual seaweeds plays a crucial role in assessing their application value. In this study, the composition and characterization of elements, microorganisms, fatty acids, etc., in four edible seaweeds were examined. The researchers found differences in the individual components and their contents in the seaweeds. However, they all had the potential to be used as alternative sources of bioactive compounds and elements to produce food products that were beneficial to humans. The present study provided a demonstration for us to detect and analyze the quality and application value of seaweeds.

FAQs
Q1: Why is seaweed analysis important?
A1: The type and amount of constituents in seaweeds may vary depending on several factors (species, geographic location, season, etc.). Seaweed analysis helps to identify and categorize different seaweeds, understand their chemical composition and nutritional value, explore potential applications, and develop industrial uses. In addition, seaweed analysis provides a wealth of information to researchers and companies for the sustainable management and cultivation of seaweed resources.
Q2: What are the main components of seaweed?
A2: Seaweeds contain a variety of components including carbohydrates, proteins, free amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins, pigments, phenolics, and so on. Analysis of these components in seaweeds determines the active ingredients, nutritional value, properties, and potential applications of different seaweeds.
Customer Review
Accurate Characterization and Analysis
"We were very satisfied with the seaweed analysis services in Creative Biolabs. We were impressed by their team's excavation of seaweeds and their vast expertise. After understanding our needs, they performed the assay using advanced techniques. Their accurate characterization and analysis of the compounds in seaweed helped us to better analyze the bioactive compounds in them, which in turn helped us to better study seaweed applications."
Attention to Detail and In-depth Analysis
"The seaweed composition analysis in Creative Biolabs was very comprehensive. Their in-depth analysis of chemical components (including carbohydrates, amino acids, vitamins, pigments, etc.) provided us with important information about the nutritional value and potential applications of seaweed samples. Moreover, their accuracy and attention to detail enhanced our understanding of the analytical results and allowed us to make sound judgments based on the results. We would choose their seaweed analysis services again in the future."
