Y. Huang et al., A simple sample preparation for enhancing the sensitivity of mass spectrometric oligosaccharide determinations through the use of an adsorptive hydrophobic resin, RAP C MASS, 14(14), 2000, pp. 1233-1237
A simple microadsorption technique is described to remove detergent additiv
es from oligosaccharide samples before their mass spectrometric analysis, T
he described methodology has been validated with submicrogram quantities of
contaminated glycoproteins. This procedure is applicable to investigating
minute quantities of glycans in both the positive- and negative-ion mode of
matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry. Copyright (
