Can oligosaccharides or polysaccharides be measured using the Glucose Determination Reagent (R-GLC4)?

Modified on Wed, 10 Nov, 2021 at 3:26 PM

The kit assay will only measure non-covalently linked monosaccharide (glucose).


Oligosaccharides or polysaccharides can be measured after hydrolysis to 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.
