LudgerTag Permethylation of Glycans

Analysis of glycans by MALDI-MS provides mass composition data and is faster than UHPLC techniques (on average one sample can take as little as 1 minute for data acquisition), but sialylated glycans are usually more difficult to analyse because the sialic acid moieties are labile. Permethylation is a popular technique for the derivatisation of carbohydrates for MALDI-MS detection, as it enhances ionization efficiency, stabilizes the sialic acids and aids linkage analysis studies. However, conventional techniques used for permethylation are slow, labour intensive and therefore not suited to high throughput sample analysis.

We have developed a simple to use LudgerTag kit for permethylating glycans, LT-PERMET-VP96. The kit can be used to process 1-96 samples using either a manual method or an automated method that has been adapted to a liquid handling robot. It is suitable for N- or O-glycans and once permethylated, they can be analysed by MALDI-TOF-MS or LC-MS.

We have validated this technology and demonstrated that glycoprofiling data is reliable and comparable to the gold standard HILIC UHPLC method. This technology has been used for a range of high throughput studies at Ludger (and using the automated permethylation sample preparation time is under 5.5 hours for 96 samples).

For the permethylation of free glycans. Kit sufficient for 96 samples. Without Methyl Iodide (MeI)

Due to shipping restrictions for dangerous goods, this kit does not include methyl iodide (synonym: iodomethane). When ordering LT-PERMET-VP96 we recommend purchasing methyl iodide with purity ≥99.0% (GC) from your local chemical provider. CAS #:74-88-4

Due to regional restrictions, this product cannot be shipped to China.

This kit is used for the permethylation of glycans. Permethylation stabilizes sialic acids for MALDI mass spectrometry analysis and aids linkage analysis studies (MALDI-MS, ESI-MS).

– Improves and enhances ionization efficiency of glycans on mass spec
– Increased glycan hydrophobicity enables LC-MS analysis
– Relative and absolute quantitation can be performed
– Stabilizes the sialic acid moieties
– Easier determination of branching and glycosidic linkage positions
– Enables detection of both neutral and acidic glycans in positive ion mode

Number of Samples: Sufficient for up to 96 samples.

Amount of Sample: Up to 1 μg of released glycans.

Suitable Samples: Any unlabelled purified glycans, released from glycoprotein by either PNGaseF, PNGase A, beta-elimination or hydrazinolysis.

Storage Store at 2-8°C.

Shipping: The product should be shipped between 2-8°C. Note: Due to shipping restrictions of methyl iodide/iodomethane, we cannot provide this component with the kit. Therefore, we recommend purchasing iodomethane with purity ≥99.0% (GC) from your local chemical provider. Iodomethane Synonym: methyl iodide CAS Number: 74-88-4

Safety: For research use only. Not for human or drug use. Please read the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for all chemicals used. All processes involving permethylation reagents should be performed using appropriate personal safety protection – eyeglasses, chemically resistant gloves and where appropriate in a laboratory fume cupboard.
