title: Fractionation and analysis of neutral oligosaccharides by HPLC.
abstract: This unit describes the fractionation and analysis of neutral oligosaccharides by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) on bonded amine columns. Separation is based upon hydrogen bonding between the NH2 groups of the column and the hydroxyl groups of the oligosaccharides. A support protocol describes the reduction and desalting of neutral oligosaccharides with sodium borohydride.
