Event Overview: 

The fast rise of obesity in the United States has resulted in an increased scrutiny of the amount of carbohydrates in pharmaceutical and food products. Carbohydrate decoration on monoclonal antibodies is now widely understood to be responsible for recognition and/or rejection by the body with biosimilars as the analytical target.  There is a greater need than before for the analysis of food and beverage products for adulteration or to prove claims of false advertising. This webinar will highlight the use of High-Performance Anion-Exchange Chromatography with Pulsed Amperometric Detection (HPAE-PAD) for the analysis of carbohydrates including mono-, di-, and oligosaccharides. We will also discuss how this approach is used to characterize large polysaccharides, such as maltodextrin. Focusing on pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical, and food and beverage matrices, this webinar will be of value to anyone looking for a fast, easy, and economical way to detect multiple types of carbohydrates without derivatization.

Key Learning Objectives: 

• Learn about the selective separation of carbohydrates using anion-exchange chromatography
• Learn how to achieve baseline resolution of higher-order oligosaccharides
• Detect carbohydrates without derivatization, saving of time and money

Who Should Attend:

• HPLC analysts interested in anion-exchange chromatography
• Food, beverage, or pharmaceutical researchers or laboratories looking to better understand carbohydrate detection
