Our GlycoNano™ platform offers a suite of services aimed at the synthesis, analysis, and application of glyconanoparticles. One of the critical sub-services is Glyconanoparticle Characterization Service, where researchers analyze the composition, stability, and functionality of their nanoparticles. Further diving into details, Glyconanoparticle Physicochemical Property Characterization Service provides insights into the distinct physio-chemical aspects such as size, charge, and surface properties of these particles.

Unlock Precision in Glyconanoparticle Analysis with HIC-based Characterization

HIC technology is based on the difference in hydrophobicity of the molecular surface and achieves the separation of biomacromolecules through hydrophobic interactions. For glyconanoparticles, the hydrophobic groups on their surface interact with the hydrophobic ligands on the HIC medium, so that glyconanoparticles of different hydrophobicity can be separated on the HIC column. This technology provides us with an effective means to analyze and characterize the hydrophobic properties of glyconanoparticles.

• Sample preparation: First, we pretreat the glyconanoparticle samples provided by clients, including removing impurities and adjusting concentrations to ensure the accuracy of the analysis results.
• HIC medium selection: we select suitable HIC media according to the characteristics of glyconanoparticles and client needs. These media have specific hydrophobic ligands that can effectively interact with the hydrophobic groups on the surface of glyconanoparticles.
• HIC condition optimization: In order to obtain the best separation effect, we customize the HIC conditions according to the characteristics of the sample, including selecting appropriate eluent components, ionic strength, and pH value.
• Sample loading and elution: Add the pretreated glyconanoparticle sample to the HIC column and then elute it in a high ionic strength solution environment. We achieve effective separation of glyconanoparticles with different hydrophobicity by adjusting the ionic strength of the eluent.
• Data collection and processing: During the HIC analysis process, we collect the glyconanoparticle information in the eluent in real-time, and use professional data analysis software to process and analyze the data to obtain key information such as the hydrophobicity distribution of glyconanoparticles.

We know that each client's glyconanoparticle sample is unique, so we provide customized HIC analysis services. According to the specific needs of clients and sample characteristics, we make personalized adjustments to each link of HIC analysis to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the analysis results.

Workflow

After consultation, samples are prepared and treated to optimal conditions before being subjected to HIC analysis. The samples travel through the HIC column, are separated based on hydrophobic interactions, and then analyzed. Data interpretation follows, where our scientists assess results against controls and standards, eventually concluding with a comprehensive report outlining the findings and offering recommendations for subsequent experiments or applications.
