Sialic Acid Analysis SialiQuant Sialic Acid Quantitation Kit Kit contains all the reagents to quickly and accurately quantitate sialic acids, including N-acetylneuraminic acid (NANA), N-glycolylneuraminic acid (NGNA). This kit includes reagents for 25 assays, each assay measuring from 1-200 nmoles of sialic acids. Most forms of sialic acid found in nature are complexed in glycoconjugates. Sialic acid can be released through the action of sialidase and can be detected as free sialic acid. The kit includes Sialidase Au and procedures for the quantitation of total sialic acid in: Glycoproteins Cell surface glycoproteins Polysialic acids Capsular polysaccharides consisting only of polysialic acid In the past, release of sialic acid from glycoconjugates has been limited by the effectiveness of the sialidase used and has led to under reporting of total sialic acid yields. Sialidase Au cleaves all sialic acid linkages, including α(2-8) and α(2-9) linkages, as well as branched sialic acids. Variants of sialic acid such as N-glycolylnueraminic acid or O-acylneuraminic acid are also cleaved. Digestion with Sialidase Au is therefore the only reliable method of generating total free sialic acid from glycoconjugates without introducing losses typically associated with chemical hydrolysis. In this method, N-Acetylneuraminic acid aldolase catalyzes the reversible reaction: N-Acetylneuraminic acid N-Acetylmannosamine + Pyruvic acid The pyruvic acid can be reduced to lactic acid by β-nadh and lactic dehydrogenase: Pyruvic Acid + β-nadh Lactic Acid + β-nad Under the proper conditions, the first forward reaction predominates, and when coupled with β-nadh reduction of pyruvic acid, the reaction goes to completion. β-nadh oxidation can be accurately measured spectrophotometrically.

LudgerTag TM Fluorescent Labeling Kits Glycan Labeling Kits Acetic Acid Promotes acid catalyzed ring opening of the glycan reducing terminus prior to the formation of an imine intermediate between the sugars and the unprotonated form of the dye. DMSO An anhydrous solvent used to dissolve all the components of the reductive amination labeling reaction. Sodium Cyanoborohydride This reductant stabilizes the imine produced by the reaction of the dye and glycans to produce stable fluorescently labeled glycans. Fluorescent Dye Analytical grade fluorescent dye. The comprehensive range of LudgerTag dyes include 2-AB, 2-AA, and DMB to cover different types of glycoanalysis by HPLC and MS. The LudgerTag kit reagents are purified to analytical grade and are dispensed and sealed under clean, inert atmospheres. The ampoules are pre-cleaned by pyrolysis at 500 C then opened just before dispensing and sealing under oxygen-free dry nitrogen. These controls ensure that your analyses work properly each and every time.
