Kairos Amino Acid Analysis Kit Simplifies and
Automates LC/MS-MS Quantification of Amino Acids in Human Plasma
and Urine
Waters Corporation (NSE:WAT) today introduced a new amino acid
analysis kit that reduces the time required to quantify amino
acids, a critical application for research scientists investigating
the physiological underpinnings of disease. The new Kairos™ Amino
Acid Analysis Kit consisting of reagents, standards, an analytical
column and associated methodology is capable of cutting analytical
run times that can range up to two hours to run times of 10 minutes
or less when used as directed with supported Waters™ UPLC systems,
mass spectrometers and Waters Targeted Omics Method Library.

“We know that amino acids are fundamental to the understanding
of numerous diseases,” said Dr. Erin Chambers, V.P., Chemistry
Technology, Waters Corporation. “After looking at how long it takes
to get results on a limited set of amino acids today, and at the
accuracy and precision of those results, we decided we could do
better. With the Kairos kit, researchers can obtain accurate
physiological amino acid profiles faster, make better decisions and
bring their research projects to completion more quickly.”
The all-in-one Kairos Kit comes with everything needed to
consistently quantify 40 or more amino acids in 10 minutes or less
when used with compatible Waters UPLC systems and mass
spectrometers and the Waters Targeted Omics Method Library. For the
needs of high-throughput laboratories, Waters is introducing a
Kairos kit with consumables for 500+ individual analyses. Waters
anticipates launching a second version of the kit for processing
100+ samples at the end of March.
Waters’ scientists have created two applications notes
highlighting the capabilities of the Kairos kit. These, and other
information, can be accessed at: www.waters.com/kairos.
