Alpha Cyclodextrin Analysis Service
Unlocking the Power of Alpha Cyclodextrin Analysis
With the support of a professional Pharmaceutical and Biological Analysis team, CD BioGlyco provides our clients with satisfactory Pharmaceutical Excipient Analysis services. Moreover, we also provide high-quality Pharmaceutical Analysis and Biological Evaluation services. Cyclodextrin is a cyclic oligosaccharide linked by an alpha-1,4-glycosidic bond. We provide reliable analytical services for alpha cyclodextrin, beta cyclodextrin, and gamma cyclodextrin respectively.
- Basic analysis
- Specific rotation
- Impurity absorbance
- Heavy metal
- pH
- Loss on drying
- Solubility
- Clarification
- Residue on ignition
- Microbial limit
- Identification
- We mix the test samples with iodine solution and heat the water bath to dissolve it. After letting it cool, we observe whether a yellow-brown precipitate is produced.
- We compare the plots of samples and standards by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Their liquid phase retention times and spectral characteristic peaks are analyzed one by one.
- Structural characterization
- CD BioGlyco provides specialized alpha cyclodextrin structural analysis services through X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), low-frequency Raman spectroscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).
- Quantitative analysis
- Determination of reducing sugar content
We dissolve alpha cyclodextrin and mix it with an alkaline copper tartrate test solution, then boil them to collect the precipitate. The precipitate is further dissolved with a hot ferric sulfate test solution, filtered, and washed. We titrate with potassium permanganate titrant and calculate the amount of reducing sugar in alpha cyclodextrin.
- Determination of related substance content
Dissolve and dilute the sample to be tested with water and then determine it by HPLC. Our professional researchers separate and identify each peak.
- Determination of alpha cyclodextrin content
We determine alpha cyclodextrin samples and standards by HPLC, respectively. The content is determined by peak area according to the external standard method.

Results: In this study, the researchers performed various analyses of α-cyclodextrin and R (+)-alpha lipoic acid (RALA)-α-cyclodextrin complexes. HPLC analysis showed that the complexed RALA was more stable than free RALA under various conditions such as high temperature or acidic conditions. Particle size distribution analysis showed that both α-cyclodextrin and RALA + α-cyclodextrin showed only a single peak.
