Biochrom has launched the Biochrom 30+ series of amino-acid analysers.
Based on ion-exchange chromatography with post-column derivatisation of samples using ninhydrin, these instruments accurately identify and quantify free amino acids, as well as the amino-acid composition of proteins and peptides.
Application areas include hospitals, industry, and veterinary, research and pharmaceutical laboratories.
Specific applications include: detection and monitoring of metabolic disease and inborn errors of metabolism, such as PKU in urine, plasma and CSF; protein and peptide analysis for pharmaceutical applications; and nutrition and compositional analysis in food, drink and animal feed.
The Biochrom 30+ Series offer rapid protocols that increase sample throughput by cutting analysis time compared with standard protocols.
The instrument is PC operated, with the software controlling all functions from the autosampler to the analysis and export of data.
All Biochrom amino-acid analysers are offered with a column-cleaning and repacking service.
