Consumers care, not just about the quantity of protein in their food, but also the quality. We have a variety of testing options to learn more about the protein in your sample, whether you're looking for a general understanding or more detailed data and information.
This is a benchtop version of the in-vivo (rat) PDCAAS test. Our in-vitro PDCAAS test will provide the amino acid profile, in-vitro digestibility, and an approximation of the protein quality in your sample. While this test cannot be used for label claims, this is a great way to check the protein during formulation, or as a precursor to the in-vivo PDCAAS test.
Amino acid testing measures the building blocks of proteins.
Measures Alanine, Arginine, Aspartic Acid, Glutamic Acid, Glycine, Histidine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Phenylalanine, Proline, Serine, Threonine, Tyrosine and Valine
Measures Tryptophan
Measures the amino acid, hydroxyproline. Collagen is reported from a calculation using the hydroxyproline content.
Measures the total content of the essential amino acids, Cystine and Methionine.
Measures amino acids that are not bound into protein structures. This test measures the following: Alanine, Arginine, Aspartic Acid, Cystine, Glutamic Acid, Glycine, Histidine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Proline, Serine, Threonine, Tryptophan, Tyrosine, and Valine

Our standard turnaround time is 10 business days for most assays. There are some assays that require a longer turnaround time. We also offer a RUSH service that is half the time of the standard turnaround time of the assay at double the cost of the assay. A few assays that we provide cannot be rushed due to the nature of the test. Please check the specific assay you are interested in regarding the ability to RUSH the turnaround time.
At Medallion, we try to offer the most sophisticated and current testing capabilities, and strive to keep our website up to date with our recent test offerings. If you do not see the analysis you require, please contact our Customer Service team at 1-800-245-5615. If we cannot run the assay you need, we will do our best to recommend you to another lab that can fulfill your request.
We make every effort to keep our methods and detection limits up to date according to the latest standards and qualifications. If you have any questions regarding the limit of detection/quantification or method references, please contact our Customer Service team at 1-800-245-5615.
While our sales and customer service team are happy to answer general testing questions, consultations typically start at a rate of $250 per 30 minutes regarding the interpretation of reported test results or questions about our test methods. We cannot consult on regulations, tolerance limits, or claims.
