Popis: A selective separation method using a poly(methylmethacrylate) microchip was developed for 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin-labeled saccharides in a crude reaction mixture. In an alkaline borate buffer, saccharide derivatives formed strong anionic borate complexes. These complexes moved from the cathode to the anode in an electric field and were detected near the anode. Excess labeling reagents and other foreign substances remained at the inlet reservoir. A confocal fluorimetric detection system enabled the determination of monosaccharide derivatives with good linearity between at least 5 and 100 nM, corresponding to 50 fmol to 1 pmol per injection. The lower limit of detection (signal-to-noise = 5) was 2 nM. The sensitivity and linear quantitation range were comparable to reported values using fluorometric detection, capillary electrophoresis, or liquid chromatography. Application of the method showed excellent resolution in the analysis of O-linked glycans chemically released from glycoproteins.
