Carotenoids and Chlorophylls

• Pigment standards derived from phytoplankton 
• Ready to use 
• Especially applicable in calibration of instruments, e.g. HPLC 
• Shipped all over the world 
• With Certificate of Analysis

The pigments are dissolved in 90% acetone (chloropigments) or 100% ethanol (most carotenoids, except astaxanthine, capsanthin, .alpha.-carotene, .Beta.-carotene, .alpha.-cryptoxanthin, .Beta.-cryptoxanthin, dinoxanthin, lycopene mutatoxanthin and myxoxanthophyll, all of which are in 100% acetone), flushed with 100% N2, and supplied in sealed vials. The pigment standards are shipped in dry ice. When stored frozen (-20°C), the pigments are stable for at least three years. The standards should, however, be used immediately after breaking the seal. Certificates of analysis specifying concentrations, stability, storage and handling accompany the vials when shipped.

The following standards are available:

Alloxanthin, Astaxanthin, Capsanthin, .alpha.-Cryptoxanthin, .Beta.-Cryptoxanthin, Chlorophyll a, Chlorophyllide a, Chlorophyll b, Fucoxanthin, Lutein, Lycopene, Mutatoxanthin, Phaeophorbide a, Prasinoxanthin

.alpha.-carotene, .Beta.-carotene, Aphanizophyll, Canthaxanthin, Chlorophyll c2, Chlorophyll c3, Diadinoxanthin, Divinyl chlorophyll a, Echinenone, 19’- hexanoyloxyfucoxanthin, MgDVP, Myxoxanthophyll, Neoxanthin, Peridinin, Pheophytin a, Violaxanthin, Zeaxanthin

19’-but-fucoxanthin, Antheraxanthin, Diatoxanthin, Crocoxanthin, Gyroxanthin-diester.
