M. Greenaway et al., A SENSITIVE AND SELECTIVE METHOD FOR THE ANALYSIS OF COMPLEX-MIXTURESOF SUGARS AND LINEAR OLIGOSACCHARIDES, Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (14), 1994, pp. 1691-1692
2-Aminoacridone has been used to derivatise a variety of sugars and po
lysaccharides via the formation and reduction of a Schiff base. Separa
tion of these carbohydrate derivatives was achieved with high selectiv
ity and sensitivity using micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatogr
aphy (MECC) followed by laser induced fluorescence detection.
