Quantify 48 Amino Acids in 20 min with LC-MS/MS
MassChrom® Amino Acid Analysis (AAA) is a flexible assay for the quantification of a full range of 48 amino acids in plasma/serum within 20 min or, 8–9 min for PKU and MSUD testing only. The assay can be employed for the determination of metabolic diseases.

More about Amino Acid Analysis (AAA)
Summary of 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.
Dr Rachel Carling reports in this recorded webinar on a study that compares the current gold standard in AAA - ion exchange chromatography (IEC) with LC-MS/MS.
This table features exemplary amino acid metabolism disorders and associated changes in the amino acid profile that are covered by the MassChrom® Amino Acid Analysis assay.
