The CTCPA laboratory studies the composition of propolis and honey!

Published on : 03/02/2021

THE CTCPA LABORATORY IS THE ONLY ONE IN FRANCE TO WORK ON THE POLYPHENOLIC CHARACTERIZATION OF PROPOLIS!

Our laboratory has developed methods of analysis on the polyphenols very characteristic of propolis.
We have technical expertise, analytical know-how and data libraries on the quantified molecules.
Our knowledge of this matrix allows us to adapt the extraction method as well as possible!
We have specific equipment for extraction: ultrasonic bath and probe, evaporator under nitrogen, ultra-turrax...
Our methods allow the quantification of polyphenols individually or globally, present in high quantities in propolis.
