Redditch, 05/03/2026
In response to growing demand, AltaBioscience has expanded its analytical capabilities with the addition of two Hitachi LA8080 amino acid analysers.
“We have seen a significant increase in demand for our amino acid analysis service, across both the alternative protein production sector and the peptide drug discovery market. To support this growth and ensure we continue to meet our customer expectations these new analysers will enhance our efficiency and throughput while strengthening the competitiveness of our ISO 17025 accredited service,” said Dr Lisa Mansell, Managing Director.
Each analyser features optimised methods for an extensive range of amino acids, achieving excellent peak separation and delivering accurate, consistent, and reproducible results, even in complex sample matrices. This precision ensures confident identification and quantitation of both standard and non-standard amino acids, as well as ninhydrin-positive compounds, providing clients with robust, reliable data for critical research and development decisions, and for meeting quality and regulatory requirements.
“For our clients, this expansion translates into faster turnarounds and enhanced capacity to manage larger or more complex projects, and access to specialised testing capabilities delivered by our highly skilled and experienced scientists,” added Dr Mansell.
