Abstract

Despite the ever growing use of capillary electrophoresis in biomedical research and the biopharmaceutical industry, the development of data interpretation methods is lagging behind. In this paper we report the design and implementation of a coinjected triple-internal standard method to alleviate the need of an accompanying run of the maltooligosaccharide ladder for glucose unit (GU) calculation. Based on the migration times of the coinjected standards of maltose, maltotriose, and maltopentadecaose (bracketing the peaks of interest), a data processing approach was designed and developed to set up a virtual ladder that was used for GU calculation. The data processing was tested in terms of the calculated GU values of human IgG glycans, and the resulting relative standard deviation was ≤1.07%. This approach readily supports high-throughput capillary electrophoresis systems by significantly speeding up the processing time for glycan structural assignment.
