SEQUENCING OF OLIGOSACCHARIDES

摘要

The present invention relates to the analysis of oligosaccharides and more particularly to the form of analysis known as sequencing of oligosaccharides. The invention provides apparatus suitable for use in the sequencing of an oligosaccharide which apparatus includes means for selecting a sequencing agent to be applied to an oligosaccharide entity. Also the invention provides a process suitable for use in the sequencing of an oligosaccharide. The sequencing agent may be, for example, an enzyme. The oligosaccharide entity may be, for example, an oligosaccharide, or a product of an oligosaccharide, or a species having an oligosaccharide portion.
