Sykam Amino Acid Analyzers

Sykam has built dedicated amino acid analyzers since the 1980s and is one of the world’s leading suppliers in this field. The S 433 and S 633 are complete operational systems supplied with ready-to-use buffers, reagents, and columns for physiological fluids, food and feedstuff hydrolysates, and customer-specific applications.

Both analyzers use HPLC pumps for buffer and reagent delivery with a high-quality post-column derivatization and detection system. They are specified for high-resolution separations of free amino acids, a wide dynamic range, and stable low-noise baselines — including on complex physiological samples — without buffer steps that complicate integration.

The S 633 is the latest analyzer in the series, with a dual inert HPLC pump, built-in in-line vacuum degassing, and application-specific high-speed or high-sensitivity versions. Limit of detection on the S 433 is 2 pmol histidine on column (3× noise).

Al-Shaker supplies these analyzers with application support, training, and reagent continuity for regional laboratories.
