Fast Analysis of Amino Acids Using the GC/MS Metabolite Component Database
The GC/MS Metabolite Component Database offers method files containing optimal column and consumables information, suitable analysis conditions and compound information, as well as libraries with retention indices. The metabolite database targets amino acids, fatty acids, and organic acids. It offers four types of mass spectrum library containing retention indices and mass spectra for these derivatives and four types of method file containing analysis conditions and data analysis conditions (Table 1).

The dedicated EZ: faast® derivatization pretreatment reagent kit can be used for amino acid analysis.
EZ: faast® contains reagents for amino acid pretreatment and derivatization, amino acid standard solutions (33 components), pretreatment equipment and an analysis capillary column.
Sample pretreatment and derivatization is completed in seven steps (taking approximately seven minutes). In addition to the 33 components, this kit supports over 50 amino acids and related compounds.
* EZ: faast® is manufactured by Phenomenex Inc.
