Table 1: Kit Components
Kit Component
Purpose
GlycoWorks HILIC
µElution Plate
Extract and clean up of free or FLR
labeled glycans
■
Capture of glycans
■
Removing contaminants like salt and
detergents from hydrophilic analytes,
such as carbohydrates, prior to MS
■
Removing excess
labeling reagent
■
The 5 mg sorbent was test to have
maximum binding capacity for 200 µg
glycans
GlycoWorks Glycoprotein
Control Standard
Unlabeled IgG (100 µg/lyophilized) to
use as a control for process validation and
troubleshooting
RapiGest SF
An enzyme friendly detergent used
to denature the glycoproteins prior to
deglycosylation reaction. For stability
purposes, there is enough RapiGest included
for initial use of the kit with 5 samples, more
may need to be ordered for processing all 46
samples.
Manifold Waste Tray
For collection of non-releasing glycans
steps. This is disposable but can be
cleaned and used several times before
acquiring a new one as long as it is rinsed
out.
GlycoWorks Reagent Kit
Contains ready to use reagents for both
denaturation, reduction, and alkylation as
well as raw materials for FLR tagging.
II. STORAGE AND DISPOSAL OF PLATES
Plates stored in their original sealed pouch remain stable for long
periods. To store unused plates in open pouches, squeeze the air out
of the pouch, fold over the open end of the pouch twice, seal with
tape, and store in a desiccator.
Note: Dispose of used plates safely in accordance with applicable
government or local regulations
III. ABBREVIATIONS
DMSO Dimethylsulfoxide
IAM
Iodoacetamide
DTT
Dithiothreitol
2AB 2-aminobenzamide
IV. USING THE GLYCOWORKS HIGH-THROUGHPUT KIT
Below, are general guidelines for utilizing the GlycoWorks High-
throughput Kit for complete extraction, purification and concentration
of N-linked glycans validated using IgG. Also included is a check list of
accessory materials that will be needed to complete the protocol from
start to finish as well as tips and tricks throughout the instructions.
