Agilent Approaches for Amino Acid Analysis

The detection and quantification of amino acids plays an important role in food analysis, protein characterization and cell culture monitoring. Amino acid separations can prove challenging because they are zwitterionic and many lack a chromophore.

1. Reversed phase analysis with precolumn derivatization
2. Reversed phase by ion pairing
3. Hydrophilic Interaction Liquid Chromatography (HILIC)
4. Chiral analysis
