ARACUS merupakan alat untuk menganalisis kandungan asam amino pada sampel yang mampu melalukan proses pemisahan 44 asam amino dalam waktu 66 menit. ARACUS beroperasi 55% lebih cepat dibandingkan alat pada umumnya. ARACUS dapat digunakan dalam laboratorium klinis, dalam kontrol kualitas pada makanan, minuman, bahan pakan, dan penelitian.
