Do you need a quantitative analysis of your protein and a determination of the amino acid composition?

We offer two quantitative amino acid analysis services: Quantification based on amino acid analysis or mass spectrometry. The best service for you depends on your project.

The accurate quantification of amino acid composition service follows the guidelines of the European Pharmacopoeia.

Quantitative amino acid analysis

The amino acid analysis service can quantify the specific amount of purified proteins and peptides. You can also use this service to determine the overall protein concentration in complex protein samples. The quantitative analysis includes acidic hydrolysis of your protein sample, thus transforming all protein material into free amino acids.

Quantification by mass spectrometry

Are you looking for accurate quantification of intact proteins or peptides? Then it is probably the mass spectrometry analysis that you need.

Describe the problem you want us to solve, and we will design a service package that meets your needs.

How do you perform Amino Acid quantification?

Amino acid analysis is the golden standard for accurate quantification of proteins. The amino acid analysis service is quite straightforward: First a hydrolysis of an accurate amount of sample using strong acid, and subsequently detection and quantification of individual amino acids.

Why perform Amino Acid Analysis?

Amino acid analysis can be used to determine the relative composition of amino acids in a protein. If the sequence is known you can use the analysis to find the absolute amount of a protein or peptide, or estimate the purity of a purified protein.

How do I determine the molar extinction coefficient of the protein in my buffer system?

You do this by A280 measurements of a dilution series of the protein in known concentrations or predicted by a theoretical calculation from the number of A280 absorbing residues.

Why should I use triplicate AAA?

It is a very robust analysis.
You can compare the results with the sequence.
It is linear over a broad concentration range.
Your data can be qualified, using internal and external reference standards.
