Background technology

Being determined in medical science/food/industry/agricultural/environment of amino acid content all is important mensuration project.Existing assay method has methods such as chromatography, electrochemical process, instrumental method (amino-acid analyzer), spectrophotometer, and these methods or method of operating are comparatively numerous and diverse, poor specificity or the more high shortcoming of instrument and equipment cost.

Amino acid is not simple a kind of material, (instrument costs an arm and a leg can directly to determine 17 seed amino acids with amino-acid analyzer, can not generally use), in medical science/food/industry/agricultural/environment, in most cases, all be that a variety of amino acid exist simultaneously, so need to measure total amino acid content, they can not be represented with the amino acid percent, can only represent with the percent of nitrogen contained in the amino acid (amino acid nitrogen).

Amino acid nitrogen increase in urine when a large amount of food meat or hunger, pregnant woman and neonatal urine amino acid nitrogen also increase.Amino acid metabolism is unusual, causes some amino acid to accumulate in vivo too much, makes that amino acid nitrogen increases in the urine; Acute liver atrophy, liver failure, R e y e syndrome or some factor cause protein to decompose the disease of quickening, and the metabolic disorder that genetic disease caused all can make amino acid nitrogen increase in the urine.

Amino acid nitrogen content has specificity height, method is easy, cost is low characteristics in enzymatic assays blood, urine, body fluid, food, soil, the industrial products.
