Technical data sheet
PrintMethod description
Tryptophan is liberated from proteins by alkaline hydrolysis in 4.2N LiOH at 110°C for 22 hours. Hydrolysis is performed under near-vaccum to protect tryptophan from oxygenm and 5-methyl tryptophan is included as an internal standard to account for any losses during hydrolysis. Sample extracts are then diluted and filtered. Analysis is performed on a reversed-phase ultra-performance liquid chromatograph with fluroescence detection (UPLC-FLR).

Additional information
Results will be reported as "Tryptophan as Dehydrate" to signify that the reported value for the individual amino acid does not include the molecular weight of water. If you are in need of the hydrated tryptophan value (individual amino acid that includes the molecular weight of one water molecule) please let us know at the time of sample submission.
