UPLC, UHPLC, and HPLC-Based Methods for Accurate Amino Acid Composition Analysis.
Waters AccQ•Tag and Pico•Tag technologies enable your laboratory to obtain accurate amino acid composition from protein/peptide hydrolysates, physiologic fluids, feeds, foods, pharmaceutical preparations, and myriad other samples using traditional HPLC or UHPLC instrumentation. The Waters AccQ•Tag Ultra Column is designed for use on Waters ACQUITY UPLC platforms to deliver superior amino acid component resolution and in less time compared to use of more traditional HPLC or UHPLC methods.
Rapid high-throughput amino acid analysis of GLP-1 analogs
Due to increased demand for glucagon-like-peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist based drugs, manufacturers are continually looking for fast and reliable solutions to screen and evaluate products to ensure that they meet regulatory standards. Amino acid analysis is a quantitative approach to assess composition and optimize bioprocess parameters during drug production, but often require lengthy hydrolysis and derivatization steps.
In this study, a microwave-assisted UPLC™ workflow is demonstrated, designed to rapidly hydrolyze, label, and identify amino acids in GLP-1 analogs using Waters AccQ·Tag™ Ultra Chemistry Kit as a turnkey solution to expedite amino acid analysis of GLP-1 analogs.
