Amino acid analysis at is core presents a few analytical challenges for lab scientists to overcome. And with the Pico-Tag methodology in place, those challenges can become much easier. But when it comes to actually separating a compound or sample mixture for the purpose of amino acid quantitation, you want the Pico-Tag Column in your stead. It produces a durable, high efficiency stationary phase that makes it uniquely suited for the reverse-phase analysis of phenylthiocarbamyl amino acids. What’s more, it exhibits incredible mechanical and chemical stability to assist you in overcoming demanding chromatographic conditions, like high backpressures and flow rates. Simply put, if you want to take advantage of the Pico-Tag workflow for amino acid analysis, then you should turn to the experts at Waters. We have a full selection of Pico-Tag products for sale, including the Pico-Tag Column. Add the Pico-Tag Column to your lab’s toolkit now, or ask your lab manager to add one to your lab’s next order from Waters.
The Pico-Tag Column is specifically designed to provide you with incredible clarity into the reverse-phase analysis of amino acids from protein hydrolysates. Pico-Tag is the most extensively used method for HPLC amino acid analysis because of its capability to achieve a long-lasting and high-efficiency stationary phase. When combined with the necessary reagents, eluents and the right HPLC system, Pico-Tag can give you the speed, resolution and sensitivity needed for amino acid analysis or quantitation. And when you need to refill on reagents and eluents, the experts at Waters have you covered.
Speaking of having all the essentials, do you have a reliable internal standard for amino acid analysis?
If not, we have just the right thing for your lab with the Amino Acid Standard (AccQ-Tag, Pico-Tag, AccQ-Tag Ultra). This standard was specially formulated for use with the Pico-Tag methodology, plus it can help you identify the concentration of proteins and structural variants before moving forward with crucial analysis.
