Quantitative determination of amino acids is made simpler and more rapid by an instrument for automatically recording the ninhydrin color value of the effluent from ion exchange columns. The influent buffer, freed of air, is pumped at a constant rate through a column of sulfonated poly-styrene resin. The effluent is met by a capillary stream of ninhydrin reagent delivered by a second pump. The color is developed by passing the mix-ture of reagent and effluent through a spiral of capillary Teflon tubing im-mersed in a boiling water bath. The absorbance of the resulting solution is measured continuously at 570 and 440 m/i as it flows through a cylindrical glass cell of 2-mm. bore. The peaks on the recorded curves can be inte-grated with a precision of 100±3% for loads from 0.1 to 3.0 jumoles of each amino acid. A hydrolyzate of a protein or peptide may be analyzed in less than 24 hours. The more complex mixtures characteristic of bloodplasma, urine, and mammalian tissues can be analyzed in 2 days. The instrument is appli-cable in principle to detection of nin-hydrin-positive constituents in the efflu-ent from various types of chromatograph columns.
