Total and free amino acid analysis
Total amino acids analysis determines the amino acids which are bound in proteins as well as those amino acids that may be present as individual unbound units.

Amino acid analysis: For accurate quantification of protein and amino acid content
Amino acid analysis is the most accurate way to determine the composition and quantity of protein in a sample.
Peptides for Raising Antibodies
In this article, we discuss methods for generating custom antibodies using peptide antigens including peptide antigen design considerations and options for generating antigenic peptides. In general, synthetic peptides are too small to elicit an immunogenic response.
Peptide solubility and storage
This article is the 3rd in a series on the synthesis of peptides. It looks at solubilising peptides and peptide storage. Peptides are supplied as lyophilised materials, which are regarded as stable compounds for shipping purposes.
Peptide purification and product analysis
Our instrumentation allows for single batch synthesis of up to 576 small scale peptides in one operation, as well as individual peptides in multigram amounts.
Design considerations in the synthesis of peptides
In this article we detail some of the design considerations we use in peptides synthesis. This article is available to view here.
Spotlight on Exenatide peptide
Exenatide is a synthetic 39-amino acid peptide used in the treatment of insulin-treated type 2 diabetes. This GLP-1 analogue is resistant to enzymatic degradation unlike the human Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) peptide.
Celiac Disease – awareness of gluten intolerance

Focus on Food Testing Mini-Series: Amino Acid Analysis
There are many methods for analysing amino acids but at AltaBioscience, we use ion exchange chromatography with post column derivatisation which is seen as the gold standard of the available techniques
