Biochrom Bio 31+ Protein Hydrolysate Amino Acid Analyzer Systems
Biochrom Bio 31+ Protein Hydrolysate Amino Acid Analyzer Systems
The Bio 31+ Amino Acid Analyzer complies with the global pharmacopoeia guidelines for dedicated amino acid analysis by ion exchange liquid chromatography and post-column derivatization of ninhydrin positive substances. Used in various application areas, the Biochrom amino acid analyzer system plays a critical role in the ICH Q6B guidelines for amino acid characterization of biopharmaceutical ingredients.
Why you need a dedicated instrument for amino acid analysis:
Conventional HPLC systems face challenges in amino acid analysis due to sample complexity and unique chemical properties. A dedicated AAA system provides a reliable, consistent, and reproducible solution without the need for method development. Its pre-set and extensively tested configuration allows 24/7 routine use with minimal user intervention. Efficient screening of numerous samples for specific amino acids can be swiftly conducted around the clock using concise methods.
System suitable for:
- Research, development and manufacturing
- Quality control and compositional analysis
Specific applications:
- Detection of up to 20 amino acids normally found in proteins
- Protein and peptide analysis for pharmaceutical applications
- Food, beverages, plant extracts, fermentation products, culture media, nutraceuticals, and infusion fluids
Biochrom 31+ Series of Amino Acid Analyzers are customizable.
Please contact your sales representative or distributor for system ordering information.
The Bio 31+ Protein Hydrolysate System, utilizing sodium citrate-based buffers, ensures fully automated, high-standard analysis for generic drugs and infusion fluids. Our dedicated amino acid analyzers accurately quantify amino acids in solutions derived from diverse materials, including proteins, peptides, and pharmaceutical ingredients. This typically involves simple sample preparation methods like acid hydrolysis, eliminating the need for chemical derivatization before injecting the hydrolyzed sample, thanks to automated post-column ninhydrin detection.
The long-lasting sodium columns in the Bio 31+ Protein Hydrolysate System tolerate various matrices and high-salt content, making it effective for analyzing infusion liquids, recombinant peptides, and synthetic drugs. Its capability to handle complex sample matrices makes it as a robust quality control technique for analyzing vitamins, synthetic drugs, and more.
