Polysaccharide Analysis Service
MtoZ Biolabs provides a professional polysaccharide analysis service integrating multiple analytical platforms, including high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), gas chromatography (GC), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). This service enables systematic investigation of polysaccharide composition, molecular weight, structural characteristics, and physicochemical properties. It is widely applicable to food science, biopharmaceuticals, agricultural research, and biomaterials development, providing clients with high-quality and reproducible data to support product research and scientific exploration.
What Is Polysaccharide
Polysaccharides are high-molecular-weight carbohydrates composed of multiple monosaccharide units linked by glycosidic bonds. They are widely distributed in nature and serve various biological functions such as energy storage, structural support, and biochemical regulation. Found in plant cell walls, animal tissues, and microbial cell surfaces, polysaccharides play essential physiological and functional roles. They are also of great value in drug discovery, immune regulation, and food additive development. Systematic polysaccharide analysis can reveal the relationship between structural features and biological activities, providing fundamental data for functional research and product innovation.

FAQs
Q1: What types of samples are suitable?
Our polysaccharide analysis service is suitable for polysaccharide samples derived from plants, fungi, algae, bacteria, and animal tissues, as well as purified standards and commercial products.
Q2: What is the service's general workflow?
Q3: What data formats are provided?
MtoZ Biolabs provides raw data files, Excel or CSV result tables, PDF reports, and high-resolution chromatograms, meeting both research and publication requirements.
Q4: How should I prepare my samples?
Samples should be free from high salt concentrations and surfactants. Liquid samples should be dissolved in an inorganic buffer and stored at low temperature with complete documentation. MtoZ Biolabs provides a detailed sample submission guide to help clients optimize preparation and shipping conditions.
