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

mAbsolute Kits
