These easily-operated wedge grips are for tensile testing thin metal plates and metal wires. Although these grips don't benefit from the stationary grip face feature of non-shift wedge grips, they still incorporate a wedge design, where the grip faces press against the wedged frame during testing, applying a self-tightening action to hold the specimen firmly in place.
There are two grip sets for 5 kN (1,100 lbf) wedge grips for metal specimens. Both grip sets include upper and lower grips. The difference between the two grip sets is one includes integrated parallel-groove grip faces whereas the other has embedded cross file-teeth grip faces. The grip faces are available separately, and can be interchanged with relative ease.

Amino acid composition analysis has traditionally been conducted for protein quantitation and peptide structure prediction. Its use has also extended in recent years to the quantitation of such functional components as branched chain amino acids (BCAA). Previously, in Application News No. L432 and L437, we introduced examples of analysis of amino acids subjected to fluorescence derivatization using o-phthalaldehyde (OPA) using the SIL-30AC. Here, we introduce an example of fast analysis of amino acids in proteins.
