L-Glutamic acid (L-Glu) is a crucial non-essential amino acid widely present in the human body, involved in various key physiological and metabolic processes. It serves as a precursor to the neurotransmitter glutamate, which plays a vital role as an excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. Additionally, L-Glu is important in nitrogen metabolism, amino acid synthesis, and energy metabolism. Its metabolic products, including γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), are essential in neural regulation and anti-anxiety responses. Given its significant role in multiple biological processes, changes in L-Glu levels are closely associated with various diseases, such as neurodegenerative disorders, liver diseases, and metabolic syndrome. Therefore, accurate analysis of L-Glu content and metabolism is essential for understanding its mechanisms in the body and its potential applications in disease diagnosis and treatment.

MtoZ Biolabs offers L-Glutamic Acid Analysis Service using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). This advanced method integrates LC's rapid separation capabilities with the high detection sensitivity of MS/MS, facilitating the precise measurement of L-Glu in complex biological matrices.
Analysis Workflow
Service Advantages
Sample Submission Requirements
Sample Types
Biological Fluids: Serum, plasma, urine, bile, bile acids
Animal Tissues: Cells, liver, brain, and other animal tissues, as well as feces
Other Samples: Plants, yeast, microorganisms
Sample Volume
At least 200 μL of liquid sample or 200 mg of tissue sample.
Sample Transportation
For shipping, it is recommended to use an adequate amount of dry ice, considering that 3-4 kg of dry ice sublimates in one day. It is advisable to use larger blocks of dry ice as they sublimate more slowly. Ensure samples are sealed in a foam box and opt for the fastest possible shipping method to minimize sample degradation during transport.
