Abstract
Herein, a step-by-step protocol for simultaneous detection of 20 amino acids commonly present incell culture media is described. The protocol facilitates detection of both primary and secondary amino acids through a two-step precolumn derivatization strategy usingortho-phthalaldehyde and 9-fluorenylmethyl chloroformate as derivatizing agents. The separation of derivatized amino acids with varying hydrophobicity is achieved through reverse-phase chromatography. The amino acids are simultaneously detected in a single workflow through the use of Variable Wavelength Detector at 338 and 262nm. The protocol is applicable for both mammalian and bacterial cell culture matrices with an option for automation of precolumn derivatization.
