The Thermo Scientific Dionex CarboPac P column provides the resolution needed for routine analysis of these oligosaccharides. Neutral and charged oligosaccharides are separated in their anionic forms by highperformance anion-exchange chromatography (HPE) using the Dionex CarboPac P column. Detection of these compounds at low picomole levels has been optimized using pulsed ampero metric detection (PD). No sample derivatization is required for detection. Separations of oligosaccharides are based on their fine structural differences, such as the composition and the sequence of the oligosaccharides, linkage isomerism, degree of sialylation, and degree of branching. There are several factors affecting the elution of oligosaccharides using the CarboPac P column. Twelve empirical relationships between oligosaccharide structure and chromatographic retention are documented by Rohrer (Rohrer, J. Glycobiology, 99,, 9-6). Some of these are illustrated in Figure and include: Fucosylated oligosaccharides are eluted ahead of their afucosylated analogs (peaks and ).
Retention times of high mannose oligosaccharides increase as the number of mannose residues increases (peaks,, 9). s the degree of branching increases, the retention time of the oligosaccharide increases (peaks, 9, ). Removal of the terminal galactose residues from a complex oligosaccharide reduces its retention time (peaks 7 9, ). Neutral and Sialylated N-linked Oligosaccharides from Glycoproteins The elution of acidic sugars from the Dionex CarboPac P column requires stronger eluents than those used for the elution of neutral sugars. This is usually accomplished with the addition of sodium acetate to the sodium hydroxide eluent. Sodium acetate accelerates the elution of strongly bound species and offers further selectivity control, without interfering with pulsed amperometric detection. Figures and show the separation of neutral and sialylated oligosaccharides in a single run. The neutral sugars are eluted in a group at the beginning of the profile followed by the disialylated, the trisialylated, and finally the tetrasialylated oligosaccharides. Oligosaccharides with Monosaccharide Linkage Isomerism High resolution separations can be obtained based on linkage isomerism, which is difficult to achieve using other chromatography technologies. Under alkaline conditions, the technique resolves these species not only by sialic acid content, but also according to the combination of α(,)- and α(,6)- linked sialic acids within each charge class. Oligosaccharides with the greatest proportion of α(,6)- to α(,)-linked sialic acids are the least retained (Figure ). The neutral component of the oligosaccharides also influences separation: those containing a Galβ(,)GlcNc sequence are retained longer than those with Galβ(,)GlcNc. n 6 7 9 6 6 7 Dionex CarboPac P + Guard mm Sodium acetate gradient in mm Sodium hydroxide Flow Rate: ml/min Inj.

Separation of neutral and sialylated oligosaccharide standards. This is a commonly used method to obtain an overall profile of neutral and sialylated N-linked oligosaccharides released from glycoproteins. Oligosaccharides are separated into broad classes depending on their degree of sialylation. Based on the retention time windows of the oligosaccharide peaks, the degree of sialylation of the oligosaccharides can be predicted.

Oligosaccharides in Food Products Oligosaccharides are routinely determined in food and beverage products for a variety of purposes, including quality control, verifying food-labeling claims, establishing product authenticity, and monitoring fermentation processes. Oligosaccharide profiles obtained using HPE-PD with the Dionex CarboPac P column can be used to establish the fingerprint of food samples. Suspect samples can be analyzed and compared to the known profiles. This technique is useful in detecting adulteration and in quality control. For example, oligosaccharide profiles are used to detect adulteration of natural fruit juices (Figure ), establish the geographic origin of molasses, and analyze polysaccharides in hydrolyzed glucose syrup. The Dionex CarboPac P column easily separates mono-, di-, and trisaccharides in citrus and sunflower honey (Figure ). These profiles are used as fingerprints for quality control and labeling verification purposes. ) Pure Orange Juice B) Orange Juice dulterated with Beet Medium Invert Sugar Dionex CarboPac P Sodium hydroxide/ Sodium acetate gradient Flow Rate: ml/min Inj.

Linear Polysaccharide Profiling Separations of high mannose, hybrid, and complex oligosaccharides are best accomplished using the Dionex CarboPac P column. Separations are accelerated and improved by using sodium acetate gradients in sodium hydroxide.

Fraction Collection The Dionex ERD Desalter device is a membrane device designed to desalt and reduce the ph of the samples following HPE-PD when the user wishes to collect and further analyze the carbohydrate samples. Desalted samples are then ready for lyophilization without dialysis. More than 99% of the sodium ions in eluents that contain up to. M sodium ions, flowing at a rate of ml/min, are removed by the Dionex ERD Desalter device. n advantage of the Dionex CarboPac P column over the Dionex CarboPac P column is that a lower salt concentration is required to elute the same oligosaccharide, making the Dionex CarboPac P column the best choice if fraction collection with subsequent desalting is required. Placed after the electrochemical detector, the Dionex ERD Desalter device exchanges sodium ions for hydronium ions. This process changes the sodium hydroxide and sodium acetate eluents to water and dilute acetic acid immediately after leaving the detector cell. Collected fractions can then be lyophilized, leaving the pure carbohydrate sample ready for further manipulation. These samples are suitable for enzymatic and chemical digestion, NMR or mass spectrometric analysis, or further chromatographic analysis. Figure shows the effect of the added volume of the Dionex ERD Desalter device between detection and collection points. Loss of resolution is measurable (~6%), but chromatographic resolution is sufficient to allow acceptable purification. Rugged, Reliable Separation with Guaranteed Performance The unique pellicular resin of the Dionex CarboPac P columns offers exceptional selectivity and stability over the entire ph range. Its highly crosslinked structure ensures long column life and easy clean-up. The entire manufacturing process (resin synthesis, amination, and packing and testing of the chromatographic columns) is carefully controlled to ensure that every Dionex CarboPac P column delivers reproducible performance. Dionex CarboPac P columns are tested with two isomers of N-acetylneuraminosyl-D-lactose to ensure lot-to-lot reproducibility. B 6 7 Figure. Elution of nmol fetuin N-linked alditols.
