title: Rapid and high-throughput analysis of N-glycans from ovarian cancer serum using a 96-well plate platform.
abstract: We present a rapid and high-throughput human serum N-glycan preparation technology using 96-well plate-based procedures. The released N-glycans from polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane filter plate are subsequently loaded to porous graphitic carbon (PGC) containing a 96-well plate to remove salts and other contaminants without sacrificing accuracy or reproducibility. This robust glycan preparation technology is applied to ovarian cancer diagnosis using 5 microl of patient serum.
