Simple LC/MS Analysis of Carbohydrates
Introduction There are many separation and detection methods are available for the determination of saccharides. These include GC-MS with derivatization, HPLC-UV with derivatization, HPAEC-PAD (High-performance anion-exchange chromatography coupled with pulsed amperometric detection), and LC-MS. The availability of a sensitive and accurate method is still a challenge. For an LC-MS method, given the high polarity, hydrophilicity…
