“…MS in conjunction with various LC separation techniques (HPLC or UHPLC) and fluorescence detection are very useful for the characterization, identification, and quantification of glycans, giving valuable information about glycan biological functions. − LC–MS analyses have enabled us to identify glycosylation sites, to characterize glycan structures, or to identify or quantify glycoproteins and glycopeptides. Different stationary phases based on lectin, boronate, or TiO 2 affinity, hydrophilic interactions, or hydrazide capture can be used for the selective enrichment of N-glycoproteins, glycans, or glycopeptides. , Moreover, recent LC strategies including C18-RPLC, HILIC, HPAEC, or porous graphitic carbon (PGC) enable the separation of isomeric glycans .…”
