Introduction Glucosamine (GlucN) has been a focusing material for the improvement of osteoarthritis as well as N-Acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlucNAc) , which has attracted much attention owing to its therapeutic activity in osteoarthritis and been evaluated as a food supplement N-Acetyl-D-glucosamine Glucosamine hydrochloride

ELSD Detector proposes a new HPLC method for the separation and quantification of Glucosamine/N-acetylglucosamine using evaporative light scattering detection. This method is applicable for monitoring nutraceutical formulations, QC, and process monitoring.Improvements over current methods include:• Minimal sample preparation • Rapid analysis• High sensitivity• Quantitative and reproducible results
Nebulization: Inside the nebulizer, the column effluent passes through a needle, mixes with nitrogen gas, and forms a dispersion of droplets Detection: The sample particles pass through a flowcell where they are hit with a laser light beam. Light scattered by the sample particles is detected generating an electrical signal ELSD Detection Principles –Universal, Versatile, Sensitive Evaporative Light Scattering Detectors use a simple three-step process that produces a signal for any non-volatile sample component Mobile Phase Evaporation: The droplets pass through a heated “drift tube” where the mobile phase evaporates leaving a fine mist of dried sample particles in solvent vapor
Objective - Not contain a chromophore absorbing in a region useful for ultraviolet detection with HPLC - The high-cost, intricacy of experimental procedure, low sensitivity and unstability prevent using these method to determine of GlucN and GlucNAc for routine quality control in health/functional foods(HFFs) industry - ELSD is increasingly being used in as a quasi-universal detector eliminating the need for derivatization of non-absorbing analytes. - The objectives of our study is to develop and validate a new HPLC-ELSD for simultaneous determining and application in quality control and biological study

Classical Method_Glucosamine Derivatization methods - involve mixing, reacting, heating, cooling and extracting steps that are time consuming.Derivatives tend to build up on columns over time requiring frequent flushing. Many derivatization agents are toxic and can cause potentially expensive wastedisposal issues. - USP Method Glucosamine responds as two peaks and sensitivity is low.the response to 0.001N HCl is the same, although smaller,for the Glucosamine-HCl sample.
Classical Method_Glucosamine Glucosamine 1000(ug/mL) - RI detector • Sample preparation can be more difficult as the sample must be dissolved in the mobile phase to decrease solvent artifacts. • The RI detector can be time consuming to equilibrate. • RI tends to be much less sensitive, with 1-10mg/mL as a detectable range. Glucosamine 1000(ug/mL) - UV detector • Low sensitivity • Analysis at very low wavelength (195nm)
