Biochrom launches the Biochrom 30+ Series of amino acid analyzers – the gold standard in dedicated amino acid analysis. Based on ion exchange chromatography with post-column derivatization of samples using ninhydrin, these biochrom 30+ series amino acid analyzer instruments accurately identify and quantify free amino acids, as well as the amino acid composition of proteins and peptides. The application areas are widely used in hospitals, industry, and veterinary, research and pharmaceutical laboratories.

Specific applications of the Biochrom Amino Acid Analyzers include:

• Detection and monitoring of metabolic disease and inborn errors of metabolism, such as PKU, in urine, plasma and CSF.
• Protein and peptide analysis for pharmaceutical applications.
• Nutrition and compositional analysis in food, drink and animal feed.

The new Biochrom 30+ Series offer rapid protocols that increase sample throughput by cutting analysis time compared with standard protocols. The instrument is PC-operated, with the user-friendly software controlling all functions, from the autosampler to the analysis and export of data. Advanced fluidics and robust hardware mean easy maintenance for users, backed by the reassurance of Biochrom’s dedicated service and support team.

A unique feature of all Biochrom amino acid analyzers is the column cleaning and repacking service, giving columns an almost indefinite life and cutting the cost of ownership.

With a worldwide reputation for excellence based on a forty-year history of manufacturing scientific instruments, Biochrom has made amino acid analyzers for forty years and is a global force in amino acid analysis.

Biochrom 30+ Amino Acid Analyzer Physiological system

Biochrom Ltd

The Biochrom 30+ Amino Acid Analyzer is trusted by hospitals, reference labs, pharmaceutical and industrial labs worldwide. It accurately detects and quantifies amino acids and their derivatives in complex samples. Applications include: detection and monitoring of in-born errors of metabolism, PKU testing, clinical analysis, proteomics, drug synthesis, infusion fluids, and quality control. The system is based on cation exchange chromatography with a highly specific detection system using post column derivatization with ninhydrin. It can separate up to 56 amino acids, derivatives and other compounds with superb separation and analysis quality giving precise, unequivocal peak identification and quantification-even for rare and unusual markers. The Biochrom 30+ Physiological System is ideal for monitoring and screening of physiological fluids. This compact instrument can handle plasma, serum, urine, dried blood spots and CSF without costly and time-consuming re-equilibration. The unique column cleaning and repacking service cuts the cost of replacement columns and there is a wide range of ready to use reagents available. Biochrom are experts in Amino Acid Analysis with over 40 years experience. All our systems are backed with expert application knowledge and our commitment to customer support.
