L-Methionine Analysis Service

Online Inquiry

Overview

Methionine is one of the amino acids necessary to maintain the normal development of humans and animals. It has a wide range of applications in the feed industry, pharmaceutical industry, health care industry and food industry. Among them, the amount of feed additives is the largest. L-Methionine is the L-body of methionine and also the "skeleton" amino acid for protein biosynthesis. It is the main donor of methyl groups in animals. It is often used to formulate complex amino acid infusions, as well as for biochemical research and nutritional supplements. This method combines the sensitivity of fluorescence detection and the convenience of ultraviolet detection. It is a method that can be used as a reference for scientific research experiments that require rapid determination of methionine content in biological samples without the conditions for fluorescence detection. At the same time, this experimental method proves that the stability and repeatability are very good, and there is no interference from impurity amino acids.

Service Workflow

Our operating technology is to adopt the ophthalaldehyde pre-column derivatization method. After the derivatization reagent o-phthalaldehyde derivatizes the sample, the derivatization reagent itself has no ultraviolet absorption and does not form interference peaks. It is compatible with mercaptopropionic acid. The reaction with the primary amino acid is rapid when used in combination, which can be completed in 2 minutes, and the peak time and peak shape of the derivative products are very stable.
