Thermo Fisher Scientific Announces Introduction of New HPLC/UHPLC Column for Analysis of Challenging Glycans and Glycan Isomers

Thermo Fisher Scientific is pleased to announce the introduction of new HPLC and UHPLC column, Thermo Scientific GlycanPac AXR-1 column, for glycan analysis. This new column offers extremely high-resolution separations based on charge, isomerism, and size and are designed to facilitate both high resolution glycan profile characterization and quantification.

“Until now, glycans isomers could not be separated by conventional HPLC,” said Ilze Birznieks, Product Marketing Manager for Biocolumns at Thermo Fisher. “This new column helps users achieve greater resolution of glycans using HPLC, providing easier profile characterization. This is useful for characterizing glycans from monoclonal antibodies being developed for therapeutics.”

The GlycanPac AXR-1 columns are designed for excellent resolution of labeled and unlabeled glycans, and are compatible with fluorescence and mass spectrometry detection methods.
