Vaast® Reagent Kit (Liquid): Amine Derivatization

General Description

The Vaast Reagent Kit (Liquid) is used for the derivatization of amino acids. This kit enables a high degree of reproducibility in derivatization. The kit contains the following reagents:

• Vial A: 6-Aminoquinolyl-N-hydroxysuccinimidyl carbamate (AQC derivatization reagent)
• Vial B: Acetonitrile HPLC grade (only included in liquid kit)
• Vial C: Borate buffer reagent (in powder form)

Further Information

You will also need 0.1M HCl and water for derivatization. Derivatization allows the simultaneous determination of 21 natural amino acids and their enantiomers in a single run. Subsequently, the Vaast 100x2.1mm, 1.7µm UHPLC column (item no. 72U93) can be used to simultaneously determine 21 natural amino acids and their enantiomers in less than 5 minutes. Amino acid column analysis is greatly simplified by using only one UHPLC column and one method. Method validation is less time-consuming and a higher sample throughput can be achieved. In addition to the analysis of amino acid mixtures, Fmoc-protected amino acids can also be tested for contamination with unprotected amino acids. In addition to the Vaast Reagent Kit (Liquid), the kit without acetonitrile HPLC grade is now also available as the Vaast Reagent Kit (Powder) (item no. 72K02).
