    This study introduces a new method for separating carbohydrates using silica gel thin layers. Adding boric and phenylboronic acids to eluents significantly improves the separation of clinically relevant mono- and disaccharides.

    Area of Science:

    • Analytical Chemistry
    • Chromatography

    Background:

    • Carbohydrate analysis is crucial in clinical diagnostics.
    • Existing chromatographic methods for carbohydrates face challenges in resolving complex mixtures.
    • Silica gel thin-layer chromatography (TLC) is a widely used separation technique.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop an improved thin-layer chromatography method for carbohydrate separation.
    • To investigate the effect of boric acid and phenylboronic acid on carbohydrate migration.
    • To achieve clear separation of biologically important mono- and disaccharides.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized pre-coated, non-impregnated silica gel thin layers for chromatography.
    • Employed one- and two-dimensional separation techniques.
    • Investigated organic elution systems with varying concentrations of boric acid and phenylboronic acid.

  • Compared results with solvent systems lacking these additives.

    • Main Results:

    • Boric acid in eluents inhibited the migration of certain sugars.
    • Phenylboronic acid increased the RF (retention factor) values of specific sugars.
    • Two-dimensional chromatography combining these acids yielded distinct separation of mono- and disaccharides.

    Conclusions:

    • Boric and phenylboronic acids effectively modulate carbohydrate interactions in TLC.
    • This method enhances the resolution of clinically relevant sugars.
    • The developed technique offers a valuable tool for bioclinical analysis of carbohydrates.
