Using anion exchange chromatography and electrochemical detection for determination of carbohydrates

Carbohydrates are among the most widespread organic compounds in the living nature. As monosaccharides and di-saccharides, they primarily serve the direct supply of energy in the organism. In the form of oligomers or polymers, they are used more for storage of energy or information, or take over tasks as a structural element in cell walls, primarily of plants.

Bacterial endotoxin testing now offered by Perfectus Biomed

Endotoxins are toxins present within a bacterial cell wall that are released when a cell disintegrates. They are lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and are found within the outer membrane of the cell wall of Gram-negative bacteria. Endotoxins often consist of lipid A, a core oligosaccharide and the O-specific polysaccharide.
