Amino Acid Analysis

Amino Acid Analysis is a vital tool at all stages of drug discovery and throughout the manufacturing process, where it is used to ensure consistency between drug batches. It is also a key part of the ICH Q6B guidelines in support of new marketing applications. As such, it is important that when you outsource analysis you know you are placing work into a safe and experienced pair of hands.

Amino Acid Analysis can be used for:

• Protein concentration calculations and characterization
• Determination of extinction coefficient
• Total amino acids, including cysteine, tryptophan, and hydroxyproline
• Free amino acids, including asparagine and glutamine

Our experts:

• Carry out an optical density measurement and analyze peptide or protein content and molar ratio using reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC)
• Couple this process with UV spectrophotometry to determine the extinction coefficient
