Method Abstract 382

MA 382 / 70-MIN AMINO ACID ANALYSIS OF PHYSIOLOGICAL SAMPLES

Pickering Laboratories specializes in the manufacturing of cation-exchange columns and eluants for Amino Acid Analysis. Post-column derivatization with Ninhydrin offers unmatched selectivity and reproducibility of the analysis for most challenging matrixes.

Pinnacle PCX post-column derivatization system allows analysts to combine eluant gradient capabilities of modern HPLC instruments with column temperature gradients. We introduce new accelerated Amino Acids Analysis method for physiological samples that utilizes temperature and eluant gradients.
