Abstract:
Carbohydrates are ubiquitous species involved in many life processes. Because of the multilateral roles of carbohydrates, their analysis has come to have increasing importance. As shown in this review, capillary electrophoresis in its various modes of operation has proved very useful in the analysis of carbohydrate species including mono- and oligosaccharides, glycoproteins, glycopeptides and glycosaminoglycans. Advances in separation approaches and applications as well as advances in detection including sensitive and selective pre-column derivatization are described. In summary, this comprehensive review is a supplement to previous reviews and covers the published work in 1996 and the first half of 1997.
