Review High Performance Liquid Chromatography of Mono-And Oligosaccharides

Abstract
The separation and determination of various monosaccharides and oligosaccharides by different HPLC techniques, published in the period from the second part of 1983 up to December 1987, are reviewed. However, several earlier works of particular significance are also covered. This review includes a systematic description of the important elements in an advanced HPLC system for analysis of saccharides: stationary phases for columns, specific mobile phases, the use of precolumn or postcolumn derivatization and the choise of detector for each specific analysis. the most significant developments of the last decade are the increasing use of bonded-phase
