Solution reagent kit aTRAQ™

for researchprotein

The aTRAQ Reagent Kits for amino acid analysis of hydrolysates enables you to quantitate 20 amino acids from protein hydrolysate samples more than three-times faster than conventional amino acid analyzers. The kits are designed for use with LC/MS/MS systems. Analysis is unaffected by chromatographic shifts due to column aging. Reagents and derivatized samples are stable. Internal standards for every amino acid provide confident identification and superior accuracy and precision. High throughput with an analysis time of 18 minute per sample Small sample requirement, 1 µg Wide linear dynamic range of greater than four orders of magnitude with an LLOQ and ULOQ of 1 nmole, respectively on a 3200 QTRAP® System Complete kit includes the required reagents, buffers, standards, controls, and column. Extended ability to add custom amines, amino acids, and small peptides and create corresponding internal standards Optional ability to automate pipetting steps Faster performance, better accuracy. The aTRAQ Reagents provide a consistent mass tag to aid in MS/MS fragmentation of amino acid samples and internal standards in a molecular weight region with reduced interference. The precision and accuracy of quantitation is improved through the use of an internal standard for each amino acid analyzed; an extra degree of confirmation is provided by comparing the retention time and the molecular weight of the sample and standard of each amino acid.
