Amino Acid Analysis by GCMS

 

We offer Amino Acid Analysis (AAA) using the Phenomenex kit.  This test uses a proprietary reagent to form derivatives of both the carboxylic acid and free amine groups.  We perform the test using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCMS).

The test is not applicable to arginine.  However the sensitivity is excellent; the chromatogram below is a 20 umolar standard. The test is applicable to over 38 amino acids, dipeptides, and other amines.
