Abstract
A highly sensitive high performance liquid chromatographic method with fluorometric postcolumn labeling using 2-cyanoacetamide was developed for determination of unsaturated disaccharides produced enzymatically from chondroitin sulfates (ChS). The calibration curves of the unsaturated disaccharides were linear over the range from 2pmol to 5nmol. This method was applied to the analysis of normal rabbit plasma for ChS to verify the sensitivity and practicality.
