title: Micromethod for fractionation of acid mucopolysaccharides.
abstract: A new micromethod for fractionation of acid mucopolysaccharides based upon the use of different concentrations of HC1 to separate the complex of CPC with non-sulphated, monosulphated and polysulphated acid mucopolysaccharides (glycosaminoglycans) is presented. The method utilizes the different binding of the anionic macromolecules to the cationic compound cetyl pyridinium chloride. The method is simple and reproducible. The use of HC1 as eluent allows the exclusion of some steps required when salts are used for elution. Hexuronic acids are determined on the eluents.
