Description
Whether you're a researcher, student, herbal medicine manufacturer, pharmaceutical company or natural product developer, understanding the chemical constituents of your plant materials is an important step in your research or product development. Our Phytochemical Screening & Assay service helps you identify and, where required, quantify the bioactive compounds present in your plant samples.
At AnalysisAfrica, we carry out both qualitative phytochemical screening and quantitative phytochemical assays using established laboratory methods. We can identify and determine the levels of important plant secondary metabolites such as alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, phenols, terpenoids, glycosides, steroids, anthraquinones and other phytochemicals depending on your research objectives.
Our service is suitable for medicinal plants, herbal formulations, plant extracts, leaves, roots, stems, bark, seeds, fruits and other botanical materials. Whether you're conducting academic research, validating traditional herbal medicines, developing a new herbal product or performing routine quality control, we'll help you obtain accurate and reliable results.
After analysis, you'll receive a detailed laboratory report showing the phytochemicals detected and, where quantitative assays are requested, their concentrations. If you're unsure which compounds should be analysed, simply tell us about your research or product, and we'll recommend the most appropriate testing package.

Packaging Instructions
Preparing your sample correctly helps us produce accurate and reliable results.
Submit approximately 100–500 g of dried plant material or 50–200 g of powdered sample.
If you're submitting a plant extract, provide at least 20–100 mL of liquid extract or 10–50 g of concentrated extract.
Ensure samples are clean, dry and free from soil, insects, mould and foreign materials.
Place samples in clean, airtight containers or sealed sample bags.
Clearly label each sample with:
Your name or organisation
Sample name
Plant part (leaf, root, bark, seed, fruit, etc.)
Extraction solvent (if applicable)
Date of collection or extraction
If multiple samples are submitted, package and label each separately.
Other Instructions
Please let us know whether you require qualitative screening, quantitative assay, or both.
If your research targets specific phytochemicals such as alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins or total phenolic content, kindly indicate this when submitting your sample.
Where available, provide the botanical (scientific) name of the plant and the plant part being analysed.
Store dried samples in a cool, dry place before submission. Fresh plant materials should be delivered as soon as possible to minimise degradation of active compounds.
If the sample has already been extracted, kindly indicate the extraction solvent used (e.g., water, ethanol, methanol or acetone).
Results apply only to the sample submitted. Variations in growing conditions, harvest time and extraction methods may influence phytochemical composition.
If you're unsure which phytochemical analyses are most suitable for your study or product, our laboratory team will be happy to guide you.
