Abstract

Capillary electrophoresis is a common technique used for glycosaminoglycan-derived disaccharide analysis because of its high resolving power, high separation efficiency, high sensitivity, short analysis time, and straightforward operation. CE coupled to laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) detection shows an approximately 100 times higher sensitivity than traditional UV detection at 232 nm. 2-Aminoacridone (AMAC) is a widely used fluorophore for labeling unsaturated disaccharides by deductive amination, which is one of the most important method of derivatization of disaccharides for CE-LIF detection. Outlined in this chapter is a protocol of analyzing glycosaminoglycan-derived disaccharides by CE-LIF with AMAC derivatization.
