Glycan Standards

N-glycan standards compatible with GlycoWorks™ RapiFluor-MS™

Glycan standards – compatible with GlycoWorks™ RapiFluor-MS™ are synthetic fluorescently labeled N-glycans, produced by Asparia Glycomics as standards for N-glycan analysis workflows. They are available as individual standards in high purity (90-99%).

Format: 100 pmol standard vials (up to 10 injections), freeze-dried.

Advantages of Glycan Standards – compatible with GlycoWorks™ RapiFluor-MS™

  • Enhanced ionization efficacy
  • Fluorescent group for detection at Ex 265 and Em 425 nm
  • Suitable for UHPLC, HPLC, ESI-MS, LC-ESI-MS and LC-FLD systems
  • Improve identification of very low abundance glycans and N-glycan structures in complex mixtures
  • Characterized by UHPLC-FLD and MS, high purity (90-99%)
  • Compatible with GlycoWorks™ RapiFluor-MS™ technology

Applications

  • N-glycan identification by either mass spectrometry or fluorescent detection
  • Identification of α(2,3) or α(2,6) sialic acid linkages in bis-sialylated biantennary N-glycans
  • Identification of relative glycosylation in biopharmaceutical development and quality control
  • Development of fast, robust LC-FLD methods
  • De-convolution of co-eluting peaks in LC-FLD/MS
  • Quality control for instrument, method, and column performance

Application Note:

Direct and robust identification of immunoglobulin Nglycosylation using fluorescent and MS-compatible N-glycan reference standards

Instructions for Glycan Standards – compatible with GlycoWorks™ RapiFluor-MS™

  • Upon arrival store Glycan Standards – compatible with GlycoWorks™ RapiFluor-MS™ vials at -20 °C. For long-term storage, store at -80 °C.
  • Sold as a lyophilizate, recommended solubilization reconstitution is in a mixture of 30 μL of deionized water and 70 μL of acetonitrile added directly to the vial for a total volume of 100 μL.
  • The recommended injection volume is 8-10 μL for up to 10 injections per vial.

Stored at -80 °C Glycan Standards – compatible with GlycoWorks™ RapiFluor-MS™standards are stable for >3 years.
