Reducing Sugar Analysis System

The Nexera reducing sugar analysis system uses Shimadzu’s unique post-column boric acid-arginine fluorescence derivatization method. This system reduces the effects of impurities and offers both high sensitivity and a wide dynamic range. As a result, sugars contained in samples can be analyzed simultaneously, without any dilution even in the case of significant concentration differences.

The derivatized saccharides are detected with high sensitivity by the fluorescence detector(RF-20Axs). This system enables the analysis of saccharides at low concentrations, which was difficult with differential refractive index detector.
