Amino Acid Analyzer System
The gold standard dedicated Amino Acid Analyzer for physiological fluids
Investigating metabolic disorders with over 42 significant amino acids and their derivatives implicated in the analysis of Inborn Errors of Metabolism including Phenylketonuria (PKU).
This compact instrument allows users to accurately detect and quantify amino acids
from physiological samples in a fully automated system with an 84-position air, cooled autosampler, operate 24/7 ideal for busy clinical and research labs to analyze plasma, serum, urine, and dried blood samples.
