Separating UDP and CDP Sugars with ANP and Increased Sensitivity

This Method can be used to analyze UDP and CDP Sugars using UDP-Hexanolamine (a metabolite) as an Internal standard. The Sugar Nucleotides used in this Application Note are a mixture of compounds that occur in plants and their structure is proprietary.

A potentially powerful tool for profiling Sugar Nucleotides in Metabolomic studies, this Method uses an Inverse Gradient (HILIC like); the Mobile Phase uses high organic component which enhances Mass Spec response and assures lower detection limits.
