Edman Degradation vs Mass Spectrometry: Which method is right for your research?
Two of the most widely used methods, Edman degradation and mass spectrometry, each offer distinct advantages. But how do you know which one is best for your project?

Understanding the exact order of amino acids at the N-terminus of a protein is critical for confirming structure, identity, and biological activity.
Understanding protein structure is essential to modern life science research, and protein sequencing plays a foundational role in that effort.
HPLC is suitable for a wide array of compounds and is routinely used to partition or purify peptides or proteins due to its high resolving power, robustness and extreme reproducibility.
Mass spectrometry analysis detects and quantifies known and unknown materials, mixtures and chemical structures of different molecules to provide precise, quantitative analysis and detection down to ultra-trace levels.
AltaBioscience is accredited by UKAS for N-terminal protein sequencing and amino acid analysis.
