Accurate Glycan Analyzer

AXIMA Accurate Glycan Analyzer
Achieves Simple, High-Sensitivity Glycan Structure Identification

The combination of the Accurate Glycan Analyzer (AGA) software and the AXIMA Resonance (the world’s only high vacuum MALDI-QIT-TOF), makes the fast, automated identification of glycans possible. Capable of detecting glycans with high sensitivity, it is equipped with a database constructed of the measured MSⁿ spectra of known glycans. By matching the spectra obtained for unknown samples with those in the database, precise, high-sensitivity glycan structure identification can be performed.
 
Key Features

• Choice of commonly used glycan labeling strategies
• Intelligent MSⁿ analysis automatically identify glycans
• Differences in complex stereoisomers are distinguished using multiple MSⁿ spectra
• Glycans can be analyzed in minutes, even at low concentration

Spectra contained in Accurate Glycan Analyzer 2 are derived from biologically relevant human glycans. These were obtained enzymatically from well-defined and characterized, biologically relevant glycogens.
