Our amino acid analysis service
Amino acid analysis will enable you to determine the amino acid composition and total protein content of individual amino acids, and protein-containing raw materials and products.
At AltaBioscience, we are able to quantify accurately all 20 natural amino acids and also up to 40 non-standard amino acids e.g., taurine, hydroxyproline, in a wide range of sample types, including samples from GMP processes.
We offer two types of analysis:
- Total amino acid analysis, which quantifies the amino acids bound within proteins along with those present as individual unbound units.
- Free amino acid analysis, which determines the amount of each amino acid not bound to a protein.
Our amino acid analysis service is accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 to give you full confidence in the results obtained.
Advantages:
- No pure samples required.
- Fast turnaround, with an optional Express Service when results are required urgently.
- Robust and superior post-column detection method, preventing false high readings due to other non-proteinogenic nitrogen.
- Testing to European Pharmacopeia 2.2.56 available.
- Results are provided in a clear and easy-to-understand format.
- Professional assistance throughout the whole project as well as possible method development to suit your specific requirements.
- High technical expertise: we have been receiving samples from food, feed and nutraceutical organisations, large and small across the globe for almost 50 years!
