Measure protein content
Consumers care, not just about the quantity of protein in their food, but also the quality. We have a variety of testing options to learn more about the protein in your sample, whether you're looking for a general understanding or more detailed data and information.
PDCAAS - Invitro (Protein Quality) Test
This is a benchtop version of the in-vivo (rat) PDCAAS test. Our in-vitro PDCAAS test will provide the amino acid profile, in-vitro digestibility, and an approximation of the protein quality in your sample. While this test cannot be used for label claims, this is a great way to check the protein during formulation, or as a precursor to the in-vivo PDCAAS test.
Amino Acid Testing
Amino acid testing measures the building blocks of proteins.
Amino Acid Profile Test - Acid Hydrolyzed Amino Acids Test
Measures Alanine, Arginine, Aspartic Acid, Glutamic Acid, Glycine, Histidine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Phenylalanine, Proline, Serine, Threonine, Tyrosine and Valine
Amino Acid Profile Test - Base Hydrolyzed Amino Acids (Tryptophan) Test
Measures Tryptophan
Amino Acid Profile Test - Hydroxyproline (Collagen) Test
Measures the amino acid, hydroxyproline. Collagen is reported from a calculation using the hydroxyproline content.
Amino Acid Profile Test - Performic Acid Oxidation Amino Acids (Cystine and Methionine) Test
Measures the total content of the essential amino acids, Cystine and Methionine.
Amino Acid Profile Test - Physiologically Free Amino Acids (with Tryptophan) Test
Measures amino acids that are not bound into protein structures. This test measures the following: Alanine, Arginine, Aspartic Acid, Cystine, Glutamic Acid, Glycine, Histidine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Proline, Serine, Threonine, Tryptophan, Tyrosine, and Valine
Amino Acid Profile Test - Physiologically Free Amino Acids (without Tryptophan) Test
Measures amino acids that are not bound into protein structures. This test measures the following: Alanine, Arginine, Aspartic Acid, Cystine, Glutamic Acid, Glycine, Histidine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Proline, Serine, Threonine, Tryptophan, Tyrosine, and Valine
Protein (Dumas) Test
Analysis of the crude or total protein in your sample. This test can be used for general nutrition labeling for protein.

Medallion Labs is an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited testing laboratory. Our accredited status means that our Quality Management System and in-scope analytical methods meet the stringent requirements of an internationally recognized standard of quality for testing laboratories in the Food and Pharmaceutical industry. Our full scope and certificate of accreditation can be accessed in the About Us section of our website. You can also obtain the information from our accrediting agency’s website: a2la.org – certificate numbers 2769.01 and 2769.02.
Our standard turnaround time is 10 business days for most assays. There are some assays that require a longer turnaround time. We also offer a RUSH service that is half the time of the standard turnaround time of the assay at double the cost of the assay. A few assays that we provide cannot be rushed due to the nature of the test. Please check the specific assay you are interested in regarding the ability to RUSH the turnaround time.
At Medallion, we try to offer the most sophisticated and current testing capabilities, and strive to keep our website up to date with our recent test offerings. If you do not see the analysis you require, please contact our Customer Service team at 1-800-245-5615. If we cannot run the assay you need, we will do our best to recommend you to another lab that can fulfill your request.
We make every effort to keep our methods and detection limits up to date according to the latest standards and qualifications. If you have any questions regarding the limit of detection/quantification or method references, please contact our Customer Service team at 1-800-245-5615.
