Analytic separation techniques for carbohydrates - Chromatography of carbohydrates - Hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC)

4 important questions on Analytic separation techniques for carbohydrates - Chromatography of carbohydrates - Hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC)

For what his HILIC used in carbohydrate detection?

  • Retention based on size and charge density
  • Separation strongly depends on structure of oligosaccharides
  • The column binds the carbohydrates and when the water content of the eluent is increased they will come off.
  • Elution at low pH will enable separation of both neutral and acidic oligosaccharides.

What is the detector used for HILIC?

ELSD and MS

What is the disadvantage of HILIC-ELSD that you can see on this picture?

Response is not linear for large oligomers (>DP4).
For the ones under that allmost linear.
