Why we rely on proven technology at Membrapure
At Membrapure, we develop and supply technologies that have played an indispensable role in research, diagnostics, and industry for many years. Our amino acid analyzers are a prime example: They combine the highest precision with robustness and efficiency – properties that are becoming increasingly important in modern laboratories.
Why amino acid analyzers remain the benchmark
The determination of amino acids plays a central role in numerous areas – from clinical diagnostics to pharmaceutical and food analysis to basic research. It is crucial that even the smallest amounts can be reliably detected. While methods such as LC-MS/MS or HPLC have gained significant importance in recent years, our amino acid analyzers offer clear advantages:
– Robustness: They work reliably even with complex samples such as animal feed or salty foods.
– Low maintenance: Our systems require minimal effort to operate. Modern LED photometers and optimized eluent formulations – free of phenol – further increase sustainability and safety.
– Cost-effectiveness: Amino acid analyzers are significantly more economical to purchase and operate than more complex mass spectrometry-based methods.
In short, amino acid analyzers are not just a piece of technological history – they remain the gold standard for amino acid analysis and are widely used to confirm LC-MS/MS results.
Versatile Applications
Our systems can be found in a wide variety of laboratory environments:
Food industry: Quality control, e.g., for testing specialty foods or feed, where the correct amino acid profile is crucial for safety and growth.
Clinical diagnostics: Analysis of blood, urine, or cerebrospinal fluid to detect metabolic disorders (e.g., PKU, MSUD) or to determine biomarkers such as homocysteine.
Research: Determination of amino acids in cell culture media or fermentation processes, seamlessly integrated into existing laboratory information systems (LIMS).
In all scenarios, our devices deliver valid and reproducible results – regardless of the complexity of the sample.
Safety and Regulatory Compliance in Focus
We know how important regulatory compliance is for our customers. That’s why our amino acid analyzers naturally meet the requirements of EU IVDR 2017/746. This applies to both the certification of the devices (Class A) and compliance with quality and risk management processes. We also ensure that only tested and approved eluents are used, ensuring IVD compliance at all times.
Conclusion: Future-proof technology with a long tradition
For us at Membrapure, amino acid analyzers are more than just devices – they are a promise to our customers: reliable results, low operating costs, and straightforward use. Even in times of increasingly complex analytical methods, our systems offer a robust, efficient, and future-proof solution for laboratories worldwide.
