Arginine Analysis Service
Arginine, as an important amino acid, is not only a fundamental unit of protein synthesis but also participates in various biochemical processes, particularly playing a crucial role in the urea cycle. It helps convert toxic ammonia into harmless urea, ensuring the normal function of the organism. Additionally, the metabolic pathway of arginine can produce various physiologically active substances such as nitric oxide, urea, and creatine. These metabolites significantly influence blood pressure regulation, immune function, and even neurotransmission. Therefore, accurate analysis of arginine and its metabolites' concentration and activity is of great importance for disease diagnosis, health assessment, and biopharmaceutical research.
Figure 1. Molecular Structure of Arginine
MtoZ Biolabs utilizes liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to conduct detailed quantitative and qualitative analyses of arginine and its metabolites. This advanced method integrates LC's rapid separation capabilities with the high detection sensitivity of MS/MS, facilitating the precise measurement of arginine in complex biological matrices.
