Amino Acid Analysis
Amino Acid Analysis is one of the best quantitative methods in protein chemistry and used by many laboratories for peptide/protein characterization. Whilst a well established technique in protein chemistry, complications can come from a variety of sources including
- variability in the inherent lability of amino acids to hydrolysis, oxidation and modification
- variability in instrument performance and hydrolysis/derivatisation conditions
- background or sample contamination
- data reduction methods
- work habits
APAF has refined Amino Acid Analysis methodologies ensuring accurate and reliable results from a broad range of sample types including
- food stuffs
- traditional medicines
- recombinant protein sources
- plant materials
