The mAbsolute kits, are low- and high-throughput glycan analysis kits, based on highly pure synthetic isotope-labeled internal standards for the absolute quantification of mAb glycosylation by MALDI-TOF MS. Minimal handling and time are required for sample preparation and within seconds, all relevant glycans of a deglycosylated mAb sample are quantified by comparison of MALDI profiles with the corresponding internal reference standards.
CarboQuant Glycan Standards are patented synthetic 13C-labeled N-glycans, produced entirely in our laboratory for use as internal standards in absolute glycan quantification by mass spectrometry. They are available as single standards or in kit form including a quantification software and all reagents and consumables required for glycan analysis.
Other applications in the field of glycobiology research and proteomics:
- Increase reproducibility in lab-to-lab method transfer (internal calibration standard)
- De-convolute and quantify co-eluting peaks in LC-MS
- Quantify glycan recovery after sample preparation
CarboClip is a recombinant peptide-N-Glycosidase F (PNGase F), from Elizabethkingia sp, overexpressed in E. coli that contains a hexahistidine tag in its C-term and cleaves between the GlcNAc and asparagine residues of high mannose, hybrid, and complex oligosaccharides from N-linked glycoproteins. CarboClip is provided glycerol-free as a lyophilized powder containing Tris-HCl, NaCl2, and Na2EDTA.
Activity: After reconstitution in 150 μL of UltraPure H2O, 1 μl of CarboClip can deglycosylate > 95% of ribonuclease B (1 mg) in less than 20 minutes. Activity is calculated on a 12 % SDS-PAGE and percent of deglycosylation using densitometry.
Storage: Lyophilized powder: -80 °C and -20 °C >1 year. At room temperature 10 days. Reconstituted protein should be stored at 4 °C and is stable for 2-3 months
Characterization of glycosylation in proteins, antibodies, hormones, and other glycoconjugates using lectin microarray
Glycans are detached from the glycosylated protein using PNGase F (CarboClip) and occupancy is determined by comparing the abundance of deamidated asparagine against the one containing aspartic acid (non glycosylated)
Quick determination of the glycosylation profile of a expressed recombinant protein depending on the heterologous host. Correlation of the differences in glycosylation and protein function
