A NEW SYSTEM OF AUTOMATIC AMINO ACID ANALYSIS .3.

The method of evaluating peaks by means of H × W integration and by means of the simple measurement of peak height were compared on chromatograms obtained with a new amino acid analyzer. The evaluation of the peaks in terms of their heights expressed in millimeters is mare precise and supplies data with a low number of digits. This permits subsequent rather complex data processing by means of a small electronic desk-top computer. Full quantitation of a chromatogram, including peak evaluation and data processing, takes no more than six to seven minutes. A data processing example is reported. © 1969.
