N-terminal Edman Sequencing

of proteins and peptides

Want to confirm & characterize the N-terminal amino acids of your protein?
The PICK 'n POST N-terminal Edman Sequencing service will provide the data within 2-6 days.

  • Get the first 5, 10 or 20 amino acid residues from the N-terminal
  • Analysis performed on PVDF membrane gel blots, and purified proteins in solution
  • Get results within 2-6 days
  • Clear and easy to understand reports
  • Analysis performed in GLP accredited lab


We Provide

Automated Edman sequencing of the protein or peptide. The Edman degradation chemistry is a cyclic procedure where the PITC reagent is coupled to the N-terminal amino group and cleaved off the protein. The PITC coupled residue is transferred to a flask, converted to a PTH-residue and the amino acid identified by HPLC chromatography. The Edman degradation reaction cycle is repeated and a sequence of N-terminal amino acids is determined.

You will receive

You will receive a detailed and easy to understand report (request sample report) by e-mail containing:

  • Amino acid sequence interpreted from the analysis data
  • Raw data HPLC chromatograms of each Edman degradation cycle
