The L-Rhamnose Assay Kit will only measure the free, non-covalently linked monosaccharides. Oligosaccharides or polysaccharides can be measured after hydrolysis to free monosaccharides. Generally acid hydrolysis can be achieved by boiling the oligo/polysaccharide in 1.3 M HCl for 1 h. It is recommended that scientific literature is consulted for information on hydrolysis conditions for the particular oligo/polysaccharide that is being measured.
Is the L-Rhamnose Assay Kit (K-RHAMNOSE) suitable for measuring oligosaccharides or polysaccharides?
