There is a lot of talk going around in the lab, and it has to do with the newly released Fast Glycan Labeling and Analysis technology. Where once research analysts needed to set aside days to perform glycan analysis, now takes an hour or so. Glycans are immediately identified by the software – so no need for data interpretation. That’s up to 5x faster than HILIC.
Short and simple 60-minute sample prep, followed by a 5-minute high-resolution separation provide immediate glycan identification and quantitation. Since glycan identification is automated, the Fast Glycan technology also eliminates the need for manual database searches while removing the potential for human error from the process.
Bioprocess International recognized our Fast Glycan technology and awarded it the 2016 Best Technology Application – Analytical Award.
Based on magnetic bead technology, it does not require centrifugation or advanced pipetting techniques, making the assay suitable for manual pipetting as well as automation. Researchers can, therefore, quickly detect changes in glycosylation, helping profile glycans that may effect changes in function, efficacy, and clearance of their biologics.
What does this mean for your lab, and how can you test the process yourself? To help you better understand the process, researchers documented the Fast Glycan Labeling and Analysis technology for N-glycosylation analysis in the following application note, “High-Resolution Separation and Identification in Minutes.”

Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) is emerging as one of the most concerning ultrashort-chain PFAS in Europe’s food supply – particularly in cereals, a staple consumed daily by millions. A report from PAN Europe reveals a widespread and largely unmonitored contamination trend that raises serious questions about food safety, regulatory blind spots, and future monitoring strategies.
PFAS analysis is complex, but expert guidance doesn’t have to be. In this episode of our ‘Ask the PFAS expert series’, we’re joined by Michael Scherer, Application Lead for Food and Environmental, to answer the most pressing questions in PFAS analysis. From why LC-MS/MS systems are the gold standard for analyzing diverse PFAS compounds, to which EU methods deliver reliable results for drinking water, and to practical steps to prevent contamination, Michael shares actionable insights to help laboratories achieve accuracy, consistency, and confidence in their workflows.
During an LC-MS/MS experiment, traditional fragmentation techniques like collision-induced dissociation (CID) have long been the gold standard. Electron-activated dissociation (EAD) is emerging as a transformative tool that enhances structural elucidation, particularly for complex or labile metabolites.
