Gold Standard Technique Celebrates Golden Anniversary
Jun 09 2008
William Stein made a major breakthrough and automated the amino acid analysis technique for the first time to enable the analysis to be
completed in a single day. Now 50 years on, although the underlying principles of amino acid analysis remain the same, analysis times for full profiles now take less than two hours to perform with certain families of amino acids taking as little as 10 minutes. âModern automated amino acid analysers are now compact bench top units with
âload and goâ operation, optimised for convenience and performance. Although these days there are several methods used for the determination of amino acids there remains only one gold standard technique that provides accurate data suitable for diagnosis or exact
determinations. The Biochrom 30 is the Gold Standard System for Gold Standard applications, â claimed Sally Bee, Biochromâs Amino Acid
Analysis Marketing Manager.
As a leading manufacturer of amino acid analysers for over 30 years Biochromâs product development over the decades has seen improved speed of data output, increased sensitivity and minimised operator times for its new generation of instruments. The gold standard technique is based on ion exchange liquid chromatography with ninhydrin detection and is used in a wide range of applications areas.
