Based on my experience-TLC method is best especially for xylose and glucose.

Philippe Urban

Dear Nweze,

The best way is to use enzymatic measurements.

We do use the dosing kits developed by the French society LIBIOS.

Here is their website:

http://www.libios.fr/index.php?&_lang=GB

I also enclosed the technical files of the tow dosing kits you'll need: one is dosing glucose and the second specifically xylose.

Do not hesitate to contact them, they are very friendly.

Best regards and good luck for your experiments.
