About AMINO ACID ANALYZER
Amino Acid Analyzer S 433
Classical amino acid analyzers, based on cation exchange chromatography followed by post column derivitazation with Ninhydrine. For amino acid analysis in food and feedstuff analysis classical amino acid analyzers are the mandatory method for compliance with the EU Commission Directive 98/64/EC describing cation exchange chromatography followed by post column derivitazation with Ninhydrine. The Sykam S 433 Amino Acid Analyzer is a turn key analyzer for physiological fluids and food/feedstuff hydrolysate amino acid analysis. The Sykam S 433 Amino Acid Analyzer is developed as a complete operational system completed with a series of ready to use buffers, reagents and columns for physiological fluids and food/feedstuff hydrolysate amino acid analysis. control software is fully 21 CFR compliance.
Advanced Detection TechnologiesThe Amino Acid Analyzer utilizes post-column ninhydrin or orthophthalaldehyde (OPA) derivatization, enabling precise detection via UV/Visible or fluorescence methods. Dual detector wavelengths (UV at 440/570 nm; fluorescence at 340 nm excitation, 450 nm emission) ensure broad analyte coverage and high sensitivity for diverse sample types. This versatility is essential for reliable amino acid quantification in complex matrices.
Automated Efficiency and High ThroughputWith automated operation and a capacity for up to 8 parallel runs and 200 samples per day, the system dramatically increases laboratory productivity. The autosampler accommodates up to 120 vials, making it ideal for routine testing and batch processing. Its self-cleaning function, built-in printer, and flexible method selection further streamline workflow.
Precise and Reliable MeasurementEquipped with a high efficiency, temperature-controlled ion-exchange column, the analyzer achieves exceptional accuracy (1% RSD retention time) and resolution (0.01 mol/L). Programmable test stroke and method library offer customizable conditions, while robust software ensures data integrity and compatibility with lab reporting needs (PDF, Excel, chromatogram export).
FAQ's of AMINO ACID ANALYZER:
Q: How does the Amino Acid Analyzer achieve accurate amino acid identification and quantification?
A: The analyzer operates on a post-column ninhydrin or OPA derivatization principle, followed by high-efficiency detection through UV/Vis or fluorescence. Specialized wavelength selection and automated method optimization provide precise quantification and identification, ensuring high analytical accuracy (1% RSD retention time; 3% RSD peak area).
Q: What is the typical sample throughput and processing speed of the analyzer?
A: This system can process up to 8 runs simultaneously and handle up to 200 samples daily. With typical analysis times ranging from 10 to 30 minutes per sample, it offers ultra-fast throughput for high-demand laboratory environments.
Q: When should I use this system, and for which types of samples is it suitable?
A: The analyzer is ideal for applications requiring quantitative amino acid profiling, such as pharmaceutical research, clinical diagnostics, food analysis, and nutritional studies. You should use it when you need reliable, reproducible analysis of free or protein-derived amino acids in complex sample matrices.
Q: Where can the Amino Acid Analyzer be installed, and what are the environmental requirements?
A: This benchtop system is designed for laboratory environments with power supply at 220V AC (10%), ambient temperatures between 15-35C, humidity 80% RH (non-condensing), and standard gas pressure (0.4-0.6 MPa) for detector operation. It has a forced air cooling system and is compact for standard lab benches.
Q: What is the typical workflow process for amino acid analysis using this system?
A: Samples (10-100 L per injection) are loaded into the autosampler (up to 120 vials). The analyzer automates derivatization, chromatographic separation, detection, data analysis, and export. Method parameters are programmable, and the built-in software provides step-by-step process control, self-cleaning, and result reporting.
Q: How does the analyzer benefit laboratory operations in terms of data handling and compliance?
A: The system supports seamless data export (PDF, Excel, chromatograms), GLP/GMP compliance, and CE certification. Its custom Windows-based software offers secure method libraries, rapid data acquisition (<1 second response), and ensures reliable audit trails for regulatory environments.
