Leading US research centre the Kennedy Krieger Institute (KKI) has installed a state-of-the-art amino acid analyser (AAA) to assist its work on developmental disabilities
The internationally-known Kennedy Krieger Institute in Baltimore has recently installed a Biochrom 20 Plus amino acid analyser at its genetics laboratory.
Kennedy Krieger is one of the world's leading centres for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of developmental disabilities, especially in children. The measurement of amino acid profiles in clinical samples is a vital tool in the diagnosis and management of patients with a variety of metabolic disorders.
Its Beckman 6300 instrument is now nearing the end of its service life, and the new system provides continuity of this essential resource.
The Biochrom 20 Plus employs proven separation technology and ninhydrin chemistry, thereby facilitating seamless methodology transfer. The latest engineering techniques and materials - like Peek - are used to bring these established methods right up to date and give improved reliability and performance.
The dedicated, fully programmable autosampler uses regular sample vials and can inject any volume from 1 to 1000µl.
Comprehensive interpretation software with full data export facilities provides exceptional user convenience.
