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

Due to shipping restrictions of 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

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
