Recombinant Collagen Content Analysis Service

Recombinant collagen content analysis is designed to quantitatively evaluate the content of recombinant collagen in samples, providing critical data support for product quality control and functional studies. This service typically employs high-sensitivity mass spectrometry to achieve accurate quantification of collagen content through precise identification and quantification of signature peptides, and allows method and standard selection based on sample type.

 

Recombinant collagen content analysis service is widely applied in various fields including tissue engineering materials, biomedical dressings, cosmetic skincare products, and injectable formulations. It is suitable for all stages from raw material screening and process development to finished product testing. Through accurate content analysis, researchers can further assess the dose-response, safety margins, and usage consistency of collagen products, offering strong support for product development and quality regulation.

 

Services at MtoZ Biolabs

Leveraging a high-resolution mass spectrometry platform, MtoZ Biolabs offers recombinant collagen content analysis service that specializes in accurately quantifying recombinant collagen in various sample types using mass spectrometry. This service is applicable to liquid, lyophilized powder, gel, and other sample forms, enabling the identification and quantification of target collagen-specific peptides. The actual concentration is calculated using either internal standards or standard curves. With the high sensitivity and specificity of mass spectrometry, we deliver highly accurate data to support critical decision-making in process optimization, quality control, and final product release.

 

Analysis Workflow

1. Sample Pretreatment

According to the physical state of the collagen sample (e.g., solution, lyophilized powder), pretreatment steps such as buffer dilution, enzymatic digestion, or removal of interfering impurities are performed to ensure compatibility with mass spectrometry detection.

 

2. Signature Peptide Selection and Standard Preparation

Representative collagen-specific peptides are selected, and corresponding internal standards or calibration curves are prepared for subsequent quantitative analysis.

 

3. Mass Spectrometry Detection and Data Acquisition

A high-sensitivity LC-MS/MS platform is used to quantitatively monitor the signature peptides, recording key parameters such as signal intensity and retention time.

 

4. Data Analysis and Reporting

Collagen content is calculated based on the standard curve, and detailed quantitative results and analytical reports are provided to support sample quality assessment and process control.

 

Sample Submission Suggestions

1. Sample Type

It is recommended to submit purified recombinant collagen samples, which may be in the form of liquid, lyophilized powder, or colloidal solution. If the sample contains excipients, buffer salts, or other protein impurities, please indicate this in advance to assess any potential impact on quantification results.

 

2. Sample Transportation

Samples should be packaged in sealed, leak-proof containers. Regular samples can be shipped at room temperature; for temperature-sensitive samples, it is recommended to use dry ice or ice packs for cold-chain transportation to ensure sample stability and analytical accuracy during transit.
