A sensitive and selective method for the analysis of complex mixtures of sugars and linear oligosaccharides
Abstract
2-Aminoacridone has been used to derivatise a variety of sugars and polysaccharides via the formation and reduction of a Schiff base. Separation of these carbohydrate derivatives was achieved with high selectivity and sensitivity using micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (MECC) followed by laser induced fluorescence detection.
