Strategies to Purify Carbohydrate Based Compounds with Flash Chromatography

Carbohydrate compounds are synthesized for a variety of purposes; they are used as probes in life sciences such as mechanism studies. This application note provides a summary of methods for purifying compounds containing carbohydrate moieties and detection/fractionation of these compounds. Synthesized compounds and natural products are examined with examples from the published literature using CombiFlash® systems or RediSep® columns from Teledyne Isco.
