I would like to assess the molecular weight, or even fractionate glycoprotein. I have a few question for this assay.
1. Is purification necessary ? if my sample may contain peptide, glycopeptide, glycoprotein etc.
2. I read some paper using HPGPC for glycoprotein MW assessment. what is the difference between HPLC and GPC and HPGPC ? is it a different instrument?
2. Can i use a GPC/SEC column in HPLC system to get all these info? i.e. MW, separation etc.
if i were to use similar parameters/condition in GPC in HPLC system with a GPC/SEC column, does that make it a HPGPC?
