[ CARE AND USE MANUAL ]

Table 1: Kit Components

Kit Component Purpose
GlycoWorks
HILIC 1 cc
Cartridge

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 10 mg sorbent was test to have maximum

binding capacity for 400 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 10 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 CARTRIDGES

Cartridges stored in their original sealed pouch remain stable for
long periods. For long term storage of unused cartridges, keep
cartridges sealed and in a desiccator.

Note: Dispose of used cartridges safely in accordance with applicable
government or local regulations

III. ABBREVIATIONS

DMSO Dimethylsulfoxide

IAM

Iodoacetamide

DTT

Dithiothreitol

2AB 2-aminobenzamide

IV. USING THE GLYCOWORKS SINGLE USE KIT

Below, are general guidelines for utilizing the GlycoWorks Single
Use 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.
