Waters AccQ·Tag Ultra Chemistry kit

Manual Options

AccQ•Tag Ultra and AccQ•Tag chemistries are the first step in enabling your laboratory to obtain accurate amino acid composition from protein/peptide hydrolysates, physiologic fluids, feeds, foods, pharmaceutical preparations, and many other sample matrices. Combined with traditional HPLC, UHPLC, or the Waters ACQUITY UPLC, you can now have a system that is customized to separate amino acids from protein hydrolysates, cell culture media, and food/feed samples to get enhanced resolution. The end result is reliability with precise qualitative and quantitative results.

AccQ•Tag Ultra and AccQ•Tag chemistry kits include:

• Pre-column derivatization reagents
• Dedicated reversed-phase columns QC tested for amino acid analysis
• Eluents and standards
• Documentation on methods for the analysis of these important biocompounds

AccQ•Tag Ultra and AccQ•Tag Derivitization Chemistry

This line of products is a comprehensive, fully tested set of reagents, columns, eluents, and methods.  

AccQ•Tag is optimized for use with HPLC/UHPLC.

AccQ•Tag Ultra is optimized for use with the UPLC Amino Acid Analysis Application Solution.

• Both methods are based on the AccQ•Tag pre-column derivatization method
• Primary and secondary amino acids are reacted with a single reagent (AccQ•Fluor) in a high-throughput batch process resulting in exceptionally stable derivatives
• AccQ•Tag Ultra provides high-resolution separations achieved using the AccQ•Tag Ultra UPLC column (1.7 µm particles) and mobile phases
• Derivatized amino acids resolved and quantified to sub-pmol levels with single wavelength UV detection
