Glycan Analysis
Services

High-Performance Glycan Analysis Solutions

We specialize in glycomic and glycoproteomic analysis of samples from a wide variety of biological and biotechnological sources.

Any complexity

We can handle all types of samples, ranging from highly purified material to crude extracts and environmental samples.

Any quantity

We will process any number of samples, from in-depth analysis of a few dozen samples to high-throughput screening of up to thousands of samples.

Versatile Analytical Workflows

Our expertise covers a wide range of glycoanalytical approaches which can be flexibly adapted to accommodate individual project requirements.

We specialize in high-throughput and in-depth glycoprofiling using our patented glyXbox™ technology platforms, delivering unprecedented performance and cost-effec­tive scalability.

Our glycoprofiling offering is supplemented by additional glycoanalytical techniques such as comprehensive glycopeptide mapping, general characterization of intact glycoproteins, and more.

Glycoprofiling

xCGE-LIF

Multiplexed capillary gel electrophoresis coupled with laser-induced fluorescence detection.

Capable of high-throughput, in-depth profiling of N‑glycans and free oligo­saccharides.

Patented technology provided exclusively by glyXera.

HILIC-FLR

Hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography coupled with fluorescence detection.

Capable of profiling N‑glycans and free oligo­saccharides.

The industry standard — robust and reliable.

MALDI-MS

Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry.

Capable of profiling N‑glycans and free oligo­saccharides with linkage-specific stabilization of sialic acids.

Patented technology provided exclusively by glyXera.

PGC-LC-MS

Porous graphitized carbon liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry.

Capable of profiling N‑glycans and free oligo­saccharides, as well as O‑glycans.

The only way to perform O-glycoprofiling.

Glycoprofiling is provided for purified glycoproteins, protein mixtures (separated by 1D or 2D gel electrophoresis), or from complex samples.

We provide high-performance glycoprofiling with three different levels of sophistication

Glycopeptide Mapping

LC-MS

for determination of glycosylation sites and glycan heterogeneity, gained using high-resolution LC‑ESI‑MS.

Site Occupancy Analysis

LC-MS
Liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry.

of N- or O‑linked glycosylation sites of monoclonal antibodies or other recombinant glycoproteins.

Intact Glyco­protein Analysis

CE-MS
Capillary electrophoresis coupled with mass spectrometry.
LC-MS
Liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry.

via molecular mass determination of intact protein glycoforms, gained using high-resolution CE‑MS or LC‑MS.
