Study: Time to Rethink Amino Acid Analysis (AAA)

Quantitative AAA requires high sensitivity and specificity. Over the years, the gold standard technique has been Ion Exchange Chromatography (IEC). As with most techniques, IEC does have some drawbacks. A recent study by Carling et al suggests that it might be time to rethink quantitative amino acid analyses and compared IEC with LC-MS/MS as an alternative method.
