ProZyme公司发布了新的用于N糖分析的平台------Gly-X 2-AB Express 和InstantAB试剂盒


N-Glycans from Enbrel released and labeled with Gly-X 2-AB Express, and separated by hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) with fluorescence detection.

HAYWARD, Calif., June 6, 2017 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- ProZyme, Inc., a leading manufacturer of reagents and tools for glycobiology, today announced the launch of the Gly-X™ N-Glycan Rapid Release and Labeling with 2-AB Express™ and Gly-X™ N-Glycan Rapid Release and Labeling with InstantAB™ kits. Both kits leverage ProZyme's next generation Gly-X™ platform that provides a simplified in-solution workflow for N-glycan analysis. The innovative 2-AB Express™ labeling method shortens sample preparation time to 2.5 hours, while the industry leading InstantDye™ labeling allows for even shorter 1.5-hour preparation time. The launch of these two new innovative products expands ProZyme's Gly-X product portfolio that now includes 2-AB Express, InstantAB, InstantPC™ and InstantQ™ dyes for LC-FLR, LC/MS and CE applications.       

"We are pleased to introduce two additions to ProZyme's Gly-X offering," said Sergey Vlasenko, Ph.D., President and CEO of ProZyme. "We developed the Gly-X platform to speed up glycan sample preparation, but two very commonly used labels, 2-AB and InstantAB, have been missing. With the launch of the Gly-X 2-AB Express and Gly-X InstantAB kits, analytical and QC groups at biopharma companies can simplify their processes and get the N-glycan results faster. In addition, the use of well-established labels will assure data continuity and enable easier platform transition for ongoing projects. I believe the next generation Gly-X platform will deliver real improvements to the way N-glycan analysis is performed today."

Protein glycosylation is a post-translational modification that can influence the efficacy and safety of therapeutic proteins such as monoclonal antibodies, and N-glycosylation can be a critical quality attribute. Protein glycosylation can also serve as a signature of a specific disease state. Traditional methods for N-glycan analysis involve slow and labor-intensive steps for sample preparation. A fluorophore is frequently added to released glycans to aid detection, and 2-AB (2-aminobenzamide) has been used to generate labeled N-glycan data for over 20 years. Typically, labeling with 2-AB requires the sample to be dried down prior to the labeling reaction, a step that has been eliminated with Gly-X 2-AB Express on-matrix labeling.

ProZyme Gly-X chemistry enzymatically releases N-glycans from glycoproteins with PNGase F in 5 minutes, and released N-glycans are labeled with a fluorescent dye instantly (InstantAB, InstantPC or InstantQ), or via on-matrix 1 hour reductive amination reaction with no prior dry down (2-AB Express). The entire sample preparation protocol can be completed in less than 1.5 hours for InstantDye or 2.5 hours for reductive amination dye. The protocol can be automated on common laboratory liquid handlers. 

ProZyme supports Gly-X sample preparation workflows with a range of labeled N-glycan standards. The Gly-X™ 2-AB Express, InstantAB, InstantPC and InstantQ kits are exclusively marketed by ProZyme worldwide.

ProZyme厂家发布了用于糖型分析的仪器---Gly-Q

 

ProZyme, Inc., a leading manufacturer of reagents and tools for glycobiology, today announced the launch of the Gly-Q™ Glycan Analysis System, an integrated platform for high-throughput, user-friendly glycoanalysis. The Gly-Q System will leverage ProZyme's expertise in rapid glycan sample preparation and analytical glycan reference standards, combined with a small capillary gel electrophoresis (CGE) instrument powered by custom software for simplified glycan data analysis.
"We are delighted to introduce ProZyme's first instrument offering," said Sergey Vlasenko, Ph.D., President and CEO of ProZyme. "We have led the way in speeding up glycan sample preparation in the past few years, but data analysis has still been a bottleneck. With our new system, cell line development and analytical groups at biopharma companies can determine the glycan profiles of their samples faster, while reducing overall costs. I believe this system could benefit researchers running glycomic analysis of large datasets including clinical samples."
Protein glycosylation is a post-translational modification that can influence the efficacy and safety of therapeutic proteins such as monoclonal antibodies, and N-glycosylation can be a critical quality attribute. Protein glycosylation can also serve as a signature of a specific disease state. Traditional methods for N-glycan analysis involve slow and labor-intensive steps for sample preparation, glycan separation and data analysis. ProZyme introduces the Gly-Q system to enable high-throughput and accessible glycan analysis for use in biotherapeutic development, and to aid in glycan biomarker discovery.
At the front end of the Gly-Q workflow, ProZyme Gly-X chemistry enzymatically releases N-glycans from glycoproteins with PNGase F in 5 minutes, and released N-glycans are instantly labeled with a fluorescent dye that enables separation by CGE. The entire sample preparation protocol can be completed in as little as 45 minutes, and is automatable. Fluorescently-labeled N-glycans are then separated on the Gly-Q CGE instrument with a run time of 2 minutes per sample, allowing 96 samples to be prepared and analyzed within a single 8-hour work day. The instrument features an easily-replaceable Gly-Q cartridge containing a capillary and gel matrix.
Gly-Q instrument control and N-glycan data analysis is facilitated by custom-built Gly-Q Manager software. Migration standards are co-injected with each sample, which along with a ladder standard enables automatic data alignment and the calculation of glucose unit (GU) values for each sample peak. GU values for samples are then compared against built-in and customizable N-glycan reference libraries for peak assignment. Analysis is enhanced with ProZyme's glycan reference standards and exoglycosidase enzymes.
The combined Gly-Q System for N-glycan sample preparation, separation and analysis is exclusively marketed by ProZyme worldwide.                                                     


ProZyme在新奥尔良参加第28届碳水化合物研讨会

 

We were pleased to present a poster on our Gly-X with InstantPC kit at the 28th International Carbohydrate Symposium.

The new Gly-X with InstantPC kit combines a 5-minute in-solution enzymatic protein deglycosylation step followed by 1-minute labeling of released N-glycans with InstantPC dye. A simple and efficient clean-up step removes dye and other interfering compounds. Labeled glycans are ready for analysis by UHPLC, LC-MS, MS/MS. The Gly-X sample prep method is simple and rapid. InstantPC dye delivers unmatched fluorescent brightness, its small size contributes to improved HILIC resolution and a tertiary amine provides increased MS signal in positive mode for N-glycan identification.
