Abstract:
1. A method for an automated determination and/or identification of carbohydrates and/or carbohydrate mixture composition pattern profiling comprising the steps of: a) obtaining a sample containing one or more carbohydrate(s); b) labeling said one or more carbohydrate(s) with a fluorescent label; c) adding at least one standard of known composition to the sample containing the one or more carbohydrate(s); d) determining migration time(s) of said one or more carbohydrate(s) and the standard of known composition using capillary gel electrophoresis-laser induced fluorescence; e) normalizing the migration time(s) to migration time indice(s) based on given standard migration time indice(s) of the standard; f) comparing said migration time indice(s) of the one or more carbohydrate(s) with standard migration time indice(s) from a database; and g) identifying or determining the one or more carbohydrate(s) and/or carbohydrate mixture composition patterns,
