Sugar analysis – the sweet taste of success using HPAE-PAD
This technical spotlight talk will uncover why high performance anion exchange with pulsed amporemetric detection (HPAE-PAD) is a robust, sensitive and selective technique for analyzing carbohydrates, from mono-saccharides up to complex glycans. We will cover the fundamentals of the technique, mechanisms for detection including the working and reference electrodes and how to select the right column.
Learning points:
- Fundamentals of HPAE-PAD
- Column chemistries for carbohydrates
- Working and reference electrode basics
Who should attend:
- Carbohydrates analysts wanting to learn the basics of HPAE-PAD
- Analysts considering HPAE-PAD for carbohydrates
- Food analysts interested in sugar analysis
