What does AAA mean in BRITISH MEDICINE

AAA uses chromatographic separations combined with post-column chemical derivatization reactions which produce fluorescent product structures that can be detected by fluorescence detectors. These products are then quantified using specific absorbance characteristics at particular wavelengths associated with the different amino acids found in proteins, peptides and polysaccharides.

The accuracy of results obtained from AAA depends on the skill level of the laboratory personnel involved and the quality of the equipment being used. Generally speaking, when properly performed, AAA yields accurate results with less than 1% error in identification and quantification.

In addition to proteins, peptides, polysaccharides and complex carbohydrates, AAA can be used to identify organic acids such as lactic acid, formic acid and oxalic acid. Additionally, it can also detect fatty acids such as palmitic acid, stearic acid and linoleic acid.

AAA has applications beyond protein analysis including detection of drugs and toxins as well as environmental pollutants, identification of unknown compounds in samples or unknown degradation products from drug metabolism studies among many others.

Yes, some complicated molecules may not offer good chromatographic separation or may require further post-column chemical derivatization reaction before they can be detected using standard instrumentation. Additionally, some substances do not exhibit enough absorbance characteristics at particular wavelengths to allow for their detection using this method..
