Amino acid quantitative analysis plays a crucial role in studying plant growth and development, metabolic regulation, and response to environmental changes. Lifeasible provides advanced and reliable amino acid quantitative analysis services, and we pay great attention to the sensitivity and accuracy of amino acid quantitative analysis and are committed to promoting the continuous development of plant science research.

Role of Amino Acids in Plants

• Growth regulation. As signaling molecules, amino acids are essential for plant growth and development.
• Environmental adaptation. Amino acids are involved in plant adaptation to environmental stresses (e.g., drought, salinity), and their transporter protein expression is regulated by environmental factors.
• Crop benefits. Amino acids significantly impact crop yield, nitrogen efficiency, quality, and stress tolerance.
• Growth and development. Amino acids promote rapid plant growth and nutrient uptake, significantly enhancing plant health.

Our Service for Amino Acids Quantification

High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)

HPLC is one of the most widely used methods for amino acid content determination. The method separates different kinds of amino acids through the interaction between the sample and the stationary phase in the column and quantitatively determines the content of various amino acids by detecting their retention time under specific conditions. HPLC can quantitatively determine different kinds of amino acids with high sensitivity and accuracy.

Gas chromatography (GC)

The primary application of GC is the identification of volatile amino acids. GC uses a detector to determine the amino acid content and separates the samples based on their varying retention times in the column. This method's great sensitivity and quick detection are its advantages. Methionine and cysteine are examples of volatile amino acids that can be detected by GC.

Capillary electrophoresis (CE)

CE divides amino acids according to how quickly they migrate in an electric field. By measuring the migration duration and peak area of amino acids in the capillary, it may quantitatively ascertain their content. CE is distinguished by its excellent resolution, good separation, and low sample volume requirements.
