# Amino Acid Analysis in the Laboratory

## Would you like to carry out an amino acid study in your matrices and finished products

### What is an amino acid?

An [amino acid](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-analysis-services/chemical-analysis-laboratory/analysis-amino-acids.md) is an organic molecule made up of an amine group (-NH2), a carboxyl group (-COOH), and a variable side chain (R), specific to each amino acid. They combine through peptide bonds to form proteins. Thanks to their specific properties, amino acids are found in many products used across various industries because of their beneficial properties.
