ANALYSIS OF CARBOHYDRATES

摘要

A method of separating or distinguishing carbohydrate substances, by the use of a fluorescent labelling reagent which has a positive charge when bound to a carbohydrate, involves separating or distinguishing labelled carbohydrate substances, e.g. by performing electrophoresis to cause differential migration of different labelled carbohydrate substances, or by isoelectric focusing in a pH gradient. Preferably the fluorescent labelling reagent is a cyanine dye.
