GSL Structure Analysis by 1H,1H-COSY
Advantages of 1H,1H-COSY Test
It is an essential idea of 1H,1H correlated spectroscopy (or 1H,1H-COSY) to connect protons that are scalarly (or through-bonds) coupled and have a coupling constant value (J) different than zero. With the exception of some precise geometric conditions, which is seldom the case in carbohydrates, these protons are normally separated by two (2J) or three (3J) chemical bonds, whereas protons separated by four linkages (or more) are often not connected. Like other homonuclear spectra, the COSY spectrum is symmetrical around the diagonal, therefore its densities may be separated into those that form the diagonal and those that are off the diagonal.

1H,1H-COSY GSL Structure Analysis Service at CD BioGlyco
A useful method for identifying signals that are generated by adjacent protons often up to four bonds is 1H,1H-COSY. Protons show correlations when spin-spin interaction is present. However, where there is no connectivity, no correlation is expected. The most popular type is DQF-COSY, which has gradient-enhanced double-quantum coherence.

CD BioGlyco establishes a powerful GSL structure analysis platform with good equipment and a well-organized research team. Because GSL structure analysis is difficult to clarify by one analysis method, normally is analyzed by multiple methods. On our website, clients can find NMR-based analysis services not only 1H,1H-COSY analysis service but also 1H NMR Analysis Service, 13C NMR Analysis Service, 1H,1H-TOCSY Analysis Service, 1H,1H-ROESY Analysis Service, and so on. Here is a standard NMR-based mapping analysis solution for reference in Fig. 3. Our skilled scientists and professional laboratory staff are able to carry out our analytical tests and subsequent data analysis in fantastic quality, providing our clients with reliable laboratory reports.
