Abstract: Methods of analyzing glycosylated biomolecules include the steps of producing a deglycosylation mixture of biomolecules deglycosylated by natural or synthetic enzymatic or chemical techniques; providing a reagent solution having a labeling reagent in a polar aprotic, non-nucleophilic organic solvent; and mixing the deglycosylation mixture with the reagent solution in an excess of labeling reagent to produce derivatized glycosylamines. The method steps can be carried out purposefully without depletion of protein matter. A quenching solution can be added to the reaction mixture so that the pH of the reaction mixture is shifted to above 10. The yield of derivatized glycosylamines can be in an amount of about 80 to about 100 mole percent of the reaction mixture with minimal overlabeling, less than 0.2 mole percent.

Abstract: Provided herein are methodologies where a glycosylated protein or peptide is subjected to peptide bond cleavage to produce a glycan amino acid complex wherein the N-linked or O-linked glycan is attached. A derivatization reagent is then attached to the N terminus of the amino acid to provide a labeled glycan amino acid complex. The labeled glycan amino acid complex is then separated from the matrix via one or more methods including HILIC SPE, and injected directly onto an LC or LC/MS system for analysis, detection and characterization of the glycosylated protein or the peptide.

X can be a high purity chromatographic core composition having a surface comprising a silica core material, metal oxide core material, an inorganic-organic hybrid material or a group of block copolymers thereof. W can be absent and/or can include hydrogen and/or can include a hydroxyl on the surface of X. Q can be a functional group that minimizes retention variation over time (drift) under chromatographic conditions utilizing low water concentrations. T can include one or more hydrophilic, polar, ionizable, and/or charged functional groups that chromatographically interact with the analyte. Additionally, b and c can be positive numbers, with the ratio 0.05?(b/c)?100, and a?0.

Abstract: Methods are provided for making rapid labeled dextran ladders and other calibrants useful in liquid chromatography. The methodologies include a two-step process comprising a reductive amination step of providing a reducing glycan and reacting it with a compound having a primary amine to produce an intermediate compound. The intermediate compound is then rapidly tagged with a rapid tagging reagent to produce the rapid labeled dextran ladder.

Abstract: Mass spectrometry (MS) active, fluorescent rapid tagging reagent is provided having three substituent groups: (a) a tertiary amino group or other MS active atom; (b) a highly fluorescent moiety; and (c) a reactive group that can react with an amine. The reactive group provides rapid tagging of desired bio-molecules. The fluorescent moiety provides the fluorescent signal. The tertiary amino group provides the MS signal.

Abstract: Described is a device for solid phase extraction of a dried sample of a biological fluid. The device includes a support structure such as a plate or support block that has a first side to receive a dried sample card. The support structure also has a second side that is opposite the first side and a number of apertures that extend between the first and second sides. The device also includes a plurality of wells each containing a sample preparation material and having an inlet end that communicates with a respective aperture at the second side of the support structure. Each dried sample on the dried sample card is aligned with one of the apertures. Extraction samples in each well pass through the sample preparation material, such as a chromatographic sorbent, in the well to remove one or more constituents of the extraction sample.

Abstract: The present invention provides a chromatographic stationary phase material various different types of chromatography. One example chromatographic stationary phase is represented by Formula 1 [X](W)a(Q)b(T)c (Formula 1). X can be a high purity chromatographic core composition. W can be absent and/or can include hydrogen and/or can include hydroxyl on the surface of X. Q can be bound directly to X and can include a first hydrophilic, polar, ionizable, and/or charged functional group that chromatographically interacts with the analyte. T can be bound directly to X and can include a second hydrophilic, polar, ionizable, and/or charged functional group that chromatographically interacts with the analyte. Additionally, Q and T can essentially eliminate chromatographic interaction between the analyte, and X and W, thereby minimizing retention variation over time (drift or change) under chromatographic conditions utilizing low water concentrations.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of separating a compound of interest, particularly unsaturated compound(s) of interest, from a mixture. The compound is separated using a column having a chromatographic stationary phase material for various different modes of chromatography containing a first substituent and a second substituent. The first substituent minimizes compound retention variation over time under chromatographic conditions. The second substituent chromatographically and selectively retains the compound by incorporating one or more aromatic, polyaromatic, heterocyclic aromatic, or polyheterocyclic aromatic hydrocarbon groups, each group being optionally substituted with an aliphatic group.
