ARACUS – Amino Acid Analyzer by MembraPure GmbH

"Replaced our 20 year old BioChrom30. Uses much less reagent and has nearly identical performance. Software is easy to use. Support has been excellent. Highly recommended"

"From the point of view of the operator it is easy to use. Being an uncomplicated and user-friendly device, the equipment has sufficient precision and accuracy. Its other great virtue is durability and stable product quality. We have been using the equipment for almost five years, it is still running stably and is of great help in scientific research."

"This A300 amino acid analyzer has been running for more than 2 years in our laboratory. This instrument is very easy to operate and very user friendly. The cost of consumption is very low. The resolution and reproducibility are good enough to meet Chinese pharmacopoeia and we mainly use this system to analyze animal feed. The results always have high accuracy."

"Our A300 amino acid analyzer, equipped with Na- and Li-system, is mainly used for analysis of amino acids in food, health care products, traditional Chinese medicine and agricultural products, etc. This instrument has high sensitivity, good reproducibility, low reagent consumption, easy operation and high automation."

"Since 2014, we have been using ARACUS to analyze amino acid composition in various plant species. What's good about this amino acid analyzer? Above all, high sensitivity and excellent reproducibility. The device is easy to use, with a user-friendly interface for management. It allows you to conduct amino acid analysis without problems in all samples (at least until we encountered unresolved problems)."

"The ARACUS system is great for easy analysis of amino acids in different tissues (physiological analysis). The machine is running very reliably. Using the physiological standards provided, easy identification and quantification can be performed. It is very important to perform a deproteinization step using the sample preparation kit from membraPure before analysis and filtration of samples through 0.22 µm filter. Great separation of amino acids in extracts can be obtained from different freeze dried material of plants, insects, and fish. The analysis of amino acids with ARACUS is easier and more convenient compared to the ninhydrin pre-column derivatization. Furthermore, though we haven’t had any problems, the service has been very helpful, and we found the company very understanding of the needs of the scientific community."

"We have been using ARACUS since 2012. The initial focus was the improvement of the detection sensitivity for the identification of different types of mould fungi by analyzing their amino acid profile in a research project. We worked closely with the application specialists and finished the project successfully. Within the last years, we were analyzing profiles from food without any significant trouble with our ARACUS."

"Excellent system. Software is manageable. Support is outstanding. We use the instrument in a clinical diagnostic laboratory and have found it to be very reliable, requiring little maintenance. We do have some issues getting consumables into the US."

"We have been using Aracus since 2014. Through this time we have analyzed different types of probes from rat saliva to new drugs with high resolution and reproducibility. During the exploitation period there was some problem with equipment. All problems have been solved by local after sale service and their German colleague."

"We have been using the A300 (Aracus) in our lab for food analysis for the past 2 years. The fully automatic, user-friendly system makes it very easy and convient to analyze all kinds of hydrolyzed and free amino acids, and the results are also highly accurate. The execellent resolution and reproducibility can also be proved by pharmacopoeia and other official measurement documents."

"It's so convenient and user-friendly. I really like to use this equipment. The results fit well with our recipes."

"Aracus has a local model (A300) in China. It has been 6 years since we first used this excellent instrument in our lab. It is very convenient for analyzing all kinds of hydrolyzed and free amino acids, easy to use as every process is fully automatic. Resolution and reproducibility are excellent compared to pharmacopoeia or official measurement documents. We mainly use the system to analyze feedstuff, food and health-care products, the results always have a high accuracy. It’s very user-friendly!"

"Recently, there has been an issue where retention time has been different when measuring the same standard, an equipment inspection is currently in progress. I am satisfied that the person in charge is solving the problem promptly."

"This instrument is easy to use and can obtain results without complex operation. Great precision, resolution, repeatability, stability and accuracy."
