Accurate amino acid composition analysis for HPLC, UHPLC, and UPLC
Accurately separating, identifying, and quantitating amino acids is challenging. The amino acid sequence is the primary structure of a protein and it is unique to a particular peptide or protein. Amino acids are also key ingredients in the cell culture media and feed used to prepare recombinant proteins. Determining amino acid composition in protein/peptide hydrolysates, foods, feeds, and pharmaceutical preparations is important, as regularly monitoring individual amino acid consumption can help you optimize the conditions in the bioreactor.
You can easily analyze amino acids with the many manual and automated solutions that use pre-column derivatization from Waters. With Waters AccQ•Tag Ultra C18, AccQ•Tag Ultra C18 – Automation, and AccQ•Tag Sample Preparation, you’ll have what your lab needs for accurate amino acid composition analysis.
