Catechin Analysis Kit - Features
Capable of Simultaneous Analysis of 11 Catechins Including Methylated Catechin
Catechins are a type of polyphenol and classified as flavanols in the flavonoid family of compounds. With this analysis kit, it is possible to simultaneously analyze caffeine and 11 kinds of catechins in 35 minutes. In addition to methylated catechin, which is said to have anti-allergy properties, other catechins include epigallocatechin gallate, epigallocatechin, epicatechin gallate, and epicatechin, the main catechins in green tea.

Validated & Ready to Use: Performs Pretreatment, Measurement, and the Creation of Reports Automatically
In addition to the analysis column, this analysis kit includes a CD-ROM(*) containing an instruction manual detailing the entire procedure (**) from sample pretreatment to HPLC measurement, LC method files, and report templates. The analysis can start quickly, whether or not the user has experience with catechin analysis.
Compatible systems: LC-2050C 3D, Nexera XR (high-pressure gradient system), Nexera lite (high-pressure gradient system)
(*) The CD-ROM can also be purchased on its own.
(**) Developed collaboratively by NARO and Shimadzu
Automatic Report Output
This kit includes the dedicated report format to automatically calculate the amount of catechin in tea leaves (g/100g), helping not only to check the result right after the analysis but also reducing the risk of wrong calculations.
