Rapid amino acid analysis
Rapid amino acid analysis
Based on ion exchange chromatography with post-column derivatisation of samples using ninhydrin, the Biochrom 30+ Series of amino acid analysers accurately identifies and quantifies free amino acids, as well as the amino acid composition of proteins and peptides. The application areas are widely used in hospitals, industry, veterinary, research and pharmaceutical laboratories. Specific applications include the detection and monitoring of metabolic disease and inborn errors of metabolism, such as PKU, in urine, plasma and CSF, and protein and peptide analysis for pharmaceutical applications as well as nutrition and compositional analysis in food, drink and animal feed. The system offers rapid protocols that increase sample throughput by cutting analysis time compared with standard protocols. The instrument is PC-operated, with user-friendly software controlling all functions, from the autosampler to the analysis and export of data. Advanced fluidics and robust hardware mean easy maintenance with the reassurance of the company’s dedicated service and support team. The column cleaning and repacking service gives columns an almost indefinite life, keeping running costs to a minimum.
