Starch Crystal Structure Assay

Most research suggests that starch is formed by alternating crystalline lamellae and amorphous regions, exhibiting properties of a semi-crystalline nature. The varying degrees of crystallinity and crystalline forms of starch determine its various properties in everyday life. X-ray Diffraction Analysis (XRD) is a technique that uses the diffraction effect of X-rays in crystal structures to analyze the structure of materials. Through XRD technology, the crystalline forms and degrees of crystallinity of starch can be thoroughly evaluated, thus providing a deeper understanding of the relationship between its structure and properties.

Sample Submission Guidelines

1.Sample Types

 

Starch samples, clients can provide the original sample for starch extraction by our company, which is subject to a separate charge.

 

2.Biological Replicates

 

A minimum of three biological replicates is recommended for robust results.

 

3.Quantity Requirements

 

Raw sample > 50 g; Starch >1 g.

 

4.Packing and Shipping

 

1)Store samples in clearly labeled tubes, label with sample name, concentration, and preparation date. Ensure tube tops are sealed.

2)For transport, secure sample tubes in 50ml capped centrifuge tubes placed in sealable bags. Use dry ice or ice packs for transportation, avoiding repeated freeze-thaw cycles. DO NOT send the samples out on Fridays, to avoid weekend delays.

 

5.Labeling Requirements

 

1)Employ double labeling, ensuring clear identification on both the sample tubes and external packaging.

2)To prevent confusion, avoid simplistic labels like A/B/C or 1/2/3. Instead, use a combination of letters and numbers for unique sample identification, reducing the risk of duplication.

 

6.Other

 

The Sample Technical Requirement Form must be mailed together with the samples to prevent project delays caused by an inability to promptly verify information.
