Kairos Amino Acid Analysis Kit Simplifies and Automates LC/MS-MS
Quantification of Amino Acids in Human Plasma and Urine
MILFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 15, 2019--
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

“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
