About OpenChemWorks
Amino acid analysis and HPLC method development for fermentation, bioprocess, food and academic laboratories, with published prices and the data behind every number.
An independent analytical laboratory in Davis, California
OpenChemWorks provides amino acid analysis by HPLC and custom HPLC method development to fermentation, bioprocess, food and academic clients.
Pricing is published, there is no minimum batch size, and every report includes the chromatogram and the quality-control data behind the numbers. Services are intended for research, development and process-monitoring use; the laboratory is not a GLP, GMP or ISO/IEC 17025 accredited facility.

How we work
The laboratory is directed by a PhD chemist whose industry work spans fermentation and bioprocess development, enzyme engineering and pharmaceutical manufacturing documentation. Every result is reviewed before it is reported.
One method is done carefully rather than many done quickly. Free amino acids are measured by AQC derivatization and HPLC with an internal standard in every sample and a quality-control standard in every run; how we control quality explains each check.
Client information, sample descriptions and results are shared only with the submitting client.
How we write
The methods library, the application pages and the insights summarize published work and explain how it bears on running and reading an amino acid analysis. Every factual claim cites a primary source, and every figure and animation is made in-house; animated chromatograms are illustrative.
Drafts are prepared with AI assistance from the cited sources and are reviewed and approved by the laboratory director before publication. Pages show when they were last updated, and change only when their content does.
Have samples in mind?
Published prices, a person replies, and every report includes the chromatogram and QC behind the numbers.
