How the Software Analyzes Glycan Data

Glycan assays are only supported on LabChip GX II instruments.
The LabChip GX Glycan Assay Analysis consists of the following

Raw data is read and stored by the system for each individual
well.
The data is filtered (see
resulting electropherograms of all wells are plotted.
Peaks are identified (see
page 108) for all wells and are tabulated by migration time. The
settings of the peak find algorithm can be changed and the data
can be reanalyzed after the run has finished. (See
a Data File" on page
for all or only certain wells.
A sizing ladder (see
basic sugar molecule, is run from the ladder vial before and after
every 12 samples. The simplest molecule is assigned a size unit
of 1 CGU (Caliper Glucose Unit). The sequence of ladder peaks
is assigned integer size values, providing a migration time to
size ruler for sizing other sugar molecules.

The ladder is analyzed (see
a standard curve of migration time versus mobility is plotted
from the ladder by interpolation between the individual
glycan/migration points. The standard curve derived from the
data of the ladder well should resemble
