Asparagine is determined as aspartic acid and glutamine as glutamic acid. The protein amount is determined if you provide the protein sequence.

  • Quantification of 18 Amino Acids
  • Easy to understand reports
  • Report delivered within 2-8 days
  • Sensitivity down to low microgram scale
  • Data comparison to custom sequence
  • Accuracy within +/- 10%

We provide

Proteins/peptides are hydrolyzed in the gas phase using HCl. The released amino acid residues are separated by ion exchange chromatography on an amino acid analyzer. The individual amino acids are reacted with ninhydrin and quantified.


You will receive

Results are delivered in a detailed and easy to understand report (request sample report) in PDF format containing:
•    Amino acid table with amounts in picomole and micrograms
•    HPLC chromatogram
