MoBiTec Germany, in cooperation with Sumitomo Bakelite Ltd., Japan, is offering to its European customers glycan arrays that are useful for studies on the interaction of microorganisms, analysis of glycan-binding proteins, autoantibodies and more.

Scientists may have discovered the Rosetta Stone, the Holy Grail, of medicine and health care. University scientists in many countries have discovered major health benefits from functional sugars found in nature.

SimGlycan®, a high throughput glycan and glycopeptide structure elucidation tool, now supports multi stage mass spectrometry data analysis which enables identification of structure specific fragment pathways.

The glycome, encompassing all of the complex sugars produced by an organism, is comprised of multiple families of molecules whose function in the human body is often determined by the structure, composition, and placement of the attached sugars.

SimGlycan, a comprehensive MS/MS data analysis tool, is now a high throughput application, being able to analyze 500 profiles in a single search run. Also improved is the ability to identify complex glycosaminoglycans.
