Amino Acid Analysis of Feed Products for Optimal Animal Nutrition

Amino acid analysis can help feed manufacturers develop cost-effective, nutritionally complete and consistent solutions for optimal animal nutrition.

Cell Culture Media Analysis

Cell culture is an important tool in cellular and molecular biology, as it can be used to study the behaviour of specific cell types in a controlled environment for drug screening and development, and disease modelling.

Hydroxyproline Analysis

Our method of post-column detection quantifies hydroxyproline content without interference from the sample matrix.

Measuring phenylalanine content in food, drink and medicinal products

Our method of post-column detection allows us accurately quantify very low levels of phenylalanine in food, drinks and medicinal products for those requiring a low protein diet.

Method considerations for the analysis of amino acids

We use the most robust amino acid analysis method available: separation of a mixture of amino acids using ion exchange chromatography followed by post-column photometric detection.

Analysis of Tryptophan, Cysteine and Cystine amino acids

For the analysis of these specific amino acids in samples, AltaBioscience uses different methods that enable us to quantify them accurately.

Case study: Method development for the amino acid analysis of a complex material.

This case study highlights the work performed by our scientists to overcome the challenges in the development of this adapted amino acid analysis method.

Amino acid analysis methods review: Post column detection method compared to Kjeldahl and Dumas methods

We discuss three methods widely used for the acquisition of protein content in food products. Methods are briefly explained and the advantages and disadvantages of each explored.

Amino acid analysis of physiological samples

Our lithium amino acid analyser accurately resolves up to 40 amino acids, including many that are non-standard, which makes it perfect for physiological samples, such as plasma and urine.

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.
