Absolute Glycan Quantification by MS using Stable Isotope Labeled Glycan Standards
CarboQuant 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.

CarboQuant standards
- >95% pure
- Fully characterized by MS and NMR
- Show up to 8 Dalton mass gain. No peak overlap
- All N-acetylglucosamine are labelled
- Quantified internal standards (qNMR )
- Broad coverage of N-glycan structures
Applications
- Use of internal glycan standards to improve your glycan analysis workflow
- Improve your method robustness with internal glycan standards
- Quantify individual glycans in biofluids like any other metabolite
- Use MALDI-TOF MS to generate quantitative glycan profiles in biomarker studies and biopharmaceutical research with very fast sample preparation and acquisition
