AccQ•Tag Columns for Amino Acid Analysis

Obtaining accurate amino acid analysis (AAA) composition from cell culture media, protein/peptide hydrolysates, dairy and adult nutritional products, feeds and foods, and many other samples require a rigorous and specific approach. For these challenging workflows, Waters offers a comprehensive pre-column derivatization AAA solution, including columns, mobile-phase eluents, sample preparation kits, and amino acid application standards for use with UPLC, UHPLC, and HPLC instrumentation. Using Waters UPLC AAA solutions provides 2x better resolution in ⅓ of the time compared to traditional high-speed post-column derivatization methods for amino acid analysis, allowing you to achieve better results in less time.

The AccQ•Tag Ultra Columns are designed for reversed-phase separation of amino acids derivatized with AccQ•Tag Ultra reagent. Each column is QC tested by UV detection using Waters Amino Acid standard to ensure repeatable performance for your most demanding amino acids. The 1.7 µm, AccQ•Tag Ultra columns are designed for superior speed and resolution on UPLC systems. Waters provides other AccQ•Tag column solutions for both UHPLC and HPLC platforms to ensure broad compatibility.
