This GPPNG-APTS Instruction Manual provides instructions for use of the AssayMAPBravo for N-glycan processing using GlykoPrep-plus Rapid N-Glycan SamplePreparation with APTS Kit (GPPNG-APTS). It also provides additional backgroundinformation and explanations to frequently-asked questions regarding:
• Glycoprotien Sample Preparation• Using the Reagent Volume Calculator • AssayMAP Bravo Processing Time• GlykoPrep-plus Reagent Preparation
Glycoprotein Sample Preparation
This section discusses a number of considerations when preparing GlycoproteinSamples for processing on the AssayMAP Bravo.
� Optional Purification
The GPPNG-APTS Kit begins with purified Glycoprotein Samples. To process cellculture or other mixtures in a single workflow, a purification module, such asProtein A or Protein G, may be employed just prior to Protocol 1 on the AssayMAPBravo.
Glycoprotein Samples must not contain any particulates, as they will plug the topfrit, or sit on the top of the resin bed and impede the flow. Spin samples to removeparticulates before processing.
� Sample Quantities
The quantitative binding capacity for each Cartridge is:
RX Cartridge 50 �g of any standard proteinCU Cartridge 30 �g of N-glycans
The binding capacity for specific glycoproteins may needto be determined.
8
Each Cartridge is capable of binding more target, but will do so with increasingbreakthrough, making the process non-quantitative. Less than the maximumquantity may be processed, for example, when the sample is available only inlimited amounts. The smallest effective amount of sample will depend on thesensitivity requirements of the analytical methods used and the specific application.
� Sample Concentrations
For standard processing, the Glycoprotein Sample concentration should be in therange of 1–5 mg/ml, and sufficient reagents have been provided to processindividual columns (8 samples) at a time. The GPPNG-APTS Kit can also be used formore dilute samples (down to 0.05 mg/ml); the effective minimum SampleConcentration will depend on the denaturation requirements for the specificglycoprotein (see below).
If quantitation is desired, pipetting less than 10 �l is notrecommended; pipetting smaller volumes introducesvariability, especially when samples are highlyconcentrated. If necessary, dilute the sample to withinthe 1-5 mg/ml range with Digestion Buffer beforebeginning.
NOTE: All Glycoprotein Samples will be loaded at thesame volume. To achieve uniform loading across all theCartridges, the Glycoprotein Samples must be adjusted tothe same concentration.
� Sample Denaturation
Prior to the enzyme digest, the Glycoprotein Samples are denatured by pre-mixingwith Denaturation Reagent to open up the protein structure and allow access to thedeglycosylation enzyme. The standard protocol employs a 5-minute, relativelygentle denaturation; the Denaturation Reagent is 6 M Guanidine. Start with a 1:1ratio of Glycoprotein Sample to Denaturation Reagent, and increase the ratio ofDenaturation Reagent to 9:1 to test the effects of increasing level of DenaturationReagent. Most glycoproteins can be adequately denatured under these conditions.
The amount of Denaturation Reagent to be added isdetermined by setting the Denaturation Factor in theReagent Volume Calculator (see instructions page 11).
Any custom denaturation may be performed prior toprocessing on the AssayMAP Bravo, as long as no SDS orother detergents are used.
In all cases, a minimum of 50% Denaturation Reagent should be added prior toloading onto the RX Cartridge. This assures that the Glycoprotein Sampleformulation matches the equilibration conditions of the RX Cartridge, and avoidsprecipitation of the protein, which will plug the Cartridge.
9
� Deglycosylation Temperature
The assay has been optimized for a setting of 45�C. Note that this temperature is theset point, and not the actual reaction temperature, which is a few degrees lower.
The user may enter temperatures other than the recommended setting forqualification or optimization studies.
� Duration of the Deglycosylation Reaction
The digestion procedure has been optimized to deliver deglycosylation of N-Glycansfrom most glycoproteins in 15–60 minutes. The optimal incubation time will varydepending on the specific glycoprotein; those which have proven to be resistant todeglycosylation via conventional enzymatic methods may require longer incubationtimes (up to 60 minutes). For glycoproteins that are comparatively easy todeglycosylate, such as monoclonal antibodies, a 15-minute incubation is generallysufficient.
Often glycoproteins must be denatured to open the protein structure for the enzymeto gain access for cleavage. See the discussion in this section under SampleDenaturation.
It is critical not to exceed a 60-minute incubation, as theCartridge resin bed may dry out, yielding uncertainresults.

Using the Reagent Volume Calculator Excel spreadsheet file that uses formulas to calculatereagent needs and recipe volumes.
Reagents and other solutions, either provided by the user or supplied with theGlykoPrep-plus Kit, must be prepared prior to dispensing into the Reagent SourcePlate.
NOTE: Some values incorporate a small overagerequired for proper operation of the probes. Forexample, for Required Sample Volume and DenaturationReagent Volume, the calculator automatically adds 5 �l.
Enter the sample information in the green fields at the top of the Sample Info &Reagent Prep tab. Grey fields are calculated values.
Volumes listed in the Reagent Source Plate tab andoptional Labeling Source Plate tab are based on numbersentered into this tab.
� Number of Samples: ________ (actual, green)
Enter the total number of glycoprotein Samples to be processed.
This field is used to calculate the number of columns andvolume of reagents required. Normal processing is donewith complete plate columns, so the number of Samplesshould be 8 to 96 and divisible by 8.
� Number of plate columns used: (calculated value, grey) This is the Number of Samples divided by 8, as only fullcolumns are used. Used to calculate the amount ofreagents to be prepared.
� Target Load (�g): _________ (actual, green)
Enter the desired Glycoprotein Sample Target Load.
The maximum, quantitative Glycoprotein Sample TargetLoad on the RX Cartridge is 50 �g. This value is usedwith the Glycoprotein Sample Concentration to calculatethe total Denatured Sample Load Volume.
� Sample Concentration (mg/ml): _________ (actual, green)
Enter the concentration of the Glycoprotein Samples.
All Glycoprotein Samples will be loaded at the samevolume. To achieve uniform loading across all theCartridges, the Glycoprotein Samples must be adjusted tothe same concentration.
� Required Starting Sample Volume (�l): (calculated value, grey) Calculated from the Sample Target Load and SampleConcentration. Dispense this volume accurately into theGlycoprotein Sample Plate (page 13). This cell will turnred for values greater than 250 �l as this is outside thevolume limit of this parameter.
11
� Denaturation Reagent Factor (x:1): _________ (actual, green)
Enter the ratio of Denaturation Reagent to be added to the GlycoproteinSamples; the Denaturation Reagent Factor is the x in the relationship (X:1).
For example, recommended to start: enter 1 for a 1:1mixture to achieve 50% Denaturation Reagent.
� Denaturation Reagent Volume (�l): (calculated value, grey) Calculated from previous entries. This cell will turn redfor values greater than 200 �l, as this is outside thevolume limit of this parameter.
� Denatured Sample Load Volume (�l): (calculated value, grey) Sum of the Glycoprotein Sample Volume and theDenaturation Reagent Volume, less 10 �l to ensureproper filling of the probes.
NOTE: If the sum of the Required Starting SampleVolume plus the Denaturation Reagent Volume less 10 �lis greater than 250 �l, this cell will turn yellow and thevalue will appear as 250 �l, which is the volume limit ofthe syringe.
GlykoPrep-plus Reagent Preparation
Reagents and other solutions, either provided by the user or supplied with the GPPNG-APTS Kit, must be prepared prior to dispensing into the Reagent Source Plate. Pleaserefer to the directions in the GPPNG-APTS Reagent Volume Calculator (Excel files) todetermine the appropriate amount of each to prepare. The “Sample Info and ReagentPrep” tab and the “Reagent Source Plate Setup” tab of the Reagent Volume Calculatormay be printed and taken to a laboratory work station to prepare and then dispensereagents and solutions as shown. The AssayMAP Bravo will dispense the reagents andsolutions from the Reagent Source Plate to begin the sample preparation.
See Preparing for the GlykoPrep-plus Protocols andGlykoPrep-plus Protocols pages 13-31 for preparation ofspecific reagents.
The amount of N-Glycanase (700 �l plus overfill) provided in the kit is sufficient forthe preparation of 96 samples, in a single run or in 4 runs totaling 96 replicates. Ifsmaller runs are desired, it is important to refer to the reagent calculator to confirm theamount of enzyme needed. Additional enzyme is needed to perform greater than 4 runswith a single kit; additional N-Glycanase (WS0278-GP) can be purchased from ProZyme.

NOTE: The first column to be used must be the firstavailable column of Cartridges as the Syringe Headcannot access a buried column of Cartridges. Remainingcolumns are transferred directly after the first column inthe left to right direction.
20
3. Indicate the first column in the Seating Station into which these columns of RXCartridges will be placed.
Normally, the starting column of the RX Cartridge Rackwill match the starting column of the Seating Stationworking across a plate from left to right. For example,columns 1-5 in a run using a full rack would be indicatedby starting column #1 and 5 columns to be moved. Thesecond run using that rack would start with column 6.
Make sure that the AssayMAP Bravo deck looks like the Deck Layout shown. First section of the green graphic above; labware is listedin the second section.
Click on “Run 2 RX Cartridge Setup.” NOTE: The RX Cartridge Setup module can be reversedby clicking on “Undo RX Cartridge Transfer.”
A status line will show when the protocol is complete: “Run complete. Module idle.”
Approximate run time is 1 minute.
WARNING: Do not reach into the AssayMAP Bravo spacewhile it is operating. This will break the security line; theAssayMAP Bravo will make an emergency stop, and maynot be able to be restarted without intervention from aknowledgeable operator.
Proceed to Protocol 3. May delay as much as one hour before proceeding to thenext protocol without affecting results.

3 Immobilization & Digestion Protocol Assumes full columns are processed
Dispense the RX Priming Solution (100 % Acetonitrile) into a 12-Column ReservoirPlate. Fill the channels with the specified volume corresponding to the columns ofRX Cartridges to be processed.
Rearrange the deck in preparation for processing:
1. Remove the RX Cartridge Rack, Receiver Plate and tape from position#6. Replace the lid to protect any remaining RX Cartridges, and store appropriately.
2. Place the 12-Column, Reservoir Plate containing the RX Priming Solution onposition#3, making sure that the filled reservoirs correspond to the RX Cartridgepositions.
Blue section of the printed Reagent Volume Calculator“Sample Info & Reagent Prep” tab.
22
3. Place the Glycoprotein Sample Plate on position#6. The positions of the columns of Glycoprotein Samplesshould correspond to the positions of the columns of RXCartridges.
NOTE: The Glycoprotein Sample Plate can be a PCRPlate or a U-Bottom Plate, depending on the DenaturedSample Load Volume. Use a PCR Plate if this value is110 μL or less; use a U-Bottom Plate if it is between 110and 300 μL.
Set the sample plate type in the “Labware” section, line 6:Select PCR Plate (low volume) or U-Bottom Plate (high volume).
Middle section of the blue graphic above.
WARNING: The correct sample plate type MUST bechosen or the AssayMAP Bravo Head may be damaged.
Set the parameters in the Application Settings section: Third section of the blue graphic above.
1. Denaturant Volume: Enter the volume of Denaturation Reagent to be added toeach Glycoprotein Sample.
Cell D16 in the Reagent Volume Calculator. Themaximum allowable volume is 200 �l.
2. Starting Sample Volume: Enter the starting volume of Glycoprotein Sample to beloaded.
Cell D15 in the Reagent Volume Calculator. Themaximum allowable volume is 250 �l.
3. Denatured Sample Load Volume (calculated value, grey). The Denatured Sample Load Volume is calculatedautomatically (from cells D15 and D16 of the ReagentVolume Calculator, less 10 �l to ensure proper filling ofthe probes) and displayed on the form after the protocolbegins.
The maximum volume that can be loaded on a Cartridgeis 250 �l; if the sum of the Denaturant Volume and theStarting Sample Volume is greater than 260 �l, only 250 �lwill be loaded.
4. Enter the Sample Loading Flow Rate. The recommended flow rate is 5 �l/minute, althoughfaster or slower rates are possible. Flow rates other thanthe recommended rate of 5 �l/minute may affect themaximum quantitative binding capacity.
23
5. Temperature Setpoint for Digestion: Enter the incubation temperature for thedeglycosylation reaction.
Note that this temperature is the set point and not theactual reaction temperature, which is a few degreeslower. The assay has been optimized for a set point of45�C, although laboratory conditions may cause thisoptimum to vary slightly.
The temperature can be monitored on the digital readoutof the STC Controller.
6. Duration of Digestion Step: Enter the duration for the deglycosylation reaction. The level of glycosylation varies from glycoprotein toglycoprotein; see “Duration of the DeglycosylationReaction” page 9.
Make sure that the AssayMAP Bravo deck looks like the Deck Layout. First section of the blue graphic above; labware is listedin the second section.
Click on “Run 3 Immobilization & Digestion.” The protocol will take between 90 and 120 minutesdepending on the sample volume and incubation time.
WARNING: Do not reach into the AssayMAP Bravo spacewhile it is operating. This will break the security line; theAssayMAP Bravo will make an emergency stop, and maynot be able to be restarted without intervention from aknowledgeable operator.
A status line will show when the protocol is complete: “Run complete. Module idle.”
Proceed to Manual Processing. The Processing Plate (position#4) now contains theN-glycans; remove for drying. The AssayMAP Bravo maybe shutdown at this point.
24
Manual Processing - Drying the N-Glycans prior to labeling
Rearrange the deck in preparation for processing:
� Remove the Processing Plate (PCR plate) from position#4.
� Dry the N-Glycan Samples using a centrifugal evaporator with the heat settingturned to the off position for 20 minutes to 1 hour, or until fully dry. .
The Processing Plate now contains released N-Glycanswith a free reducing end, along with Finishing Reagent.
This is a good time to remove the APTS Solution,Reductant Solution and APTS Catalyst so they can cometo room temperature.
Protocol 4 may be processed simultaneously with Manual Processing.
25
4 CU Cartridge Setup Protocol Assumes full columns are processed
Rearrange the deck in preparation for processing:� Remove all Immobilization and Digestion labware from deck.� Discard used RX Cartridges.

May process a partial Rack.
Tape the CU Cartridge Rack and Receiver Plate to the deck.
Place the empty Seating Station in position#2.
26
Set the parameters in the Application Settings section:
1. Indicate the first column from which to take the CU Cartridges from Rack inposition#6.
2. Indicate the number of columns to transfer.3. Indicate the first column in the Seating Station where the CU Cartridges are to be
placed.
Third section of the purple graphic above.
NOTE: This must be the first occupied column of the CUCartridge Rack as the Syringe Head cannot access aburied column of Cartridges.
Normally the starting column of the CU Cartridge Rackwill match the starting column of the Seating Stationacross the plate from left to right.
Make sure that the AssayMAP Bravo deck looks like the Deck Layout shown. First section of the purple graphic above; labware is listedin the second section.
Click on “Run 4 CU Cartridge Setup.” NOTE: the CU Cartridge Setup module can be reversedby clicking on “Undo CU Cartridge Transfer”.
A status line will show when the protocol is complete: “Run complete. Module idle.”
Approximate run time is 1 minute.
WARNING: Do not reach into the AssayMAP Bravo spacewhile it is operating. This will break the security line; theAssayMAP Bravo will make an emergency stop, and maynot be able to be restarted without intervention from aknowledgeable operator.
When the N-glycan Samples are dry, proceed to Manual Processing - Labeling theN-Glycans with APTS.
27
Manual Processing - Labeling the N-Glycans with APTS
Prepare APTS Labeling Reagent.
.
Allow the APTS Solution, Reductant Solution and APTS Catalyst vials to come toroom temperature in the sealed desiccant bag before removing them. Invert each tomix gently. Before opening each vial, flick it or gently tap it on a flat surface todislodge any liquid adhering to the underside of the cap and ensure that thecontents collect at the bottom.
In a separate vial, add the amounts of APTS Solution, Reductant Solution and APTSCatalyst as indicated in the Reagent Volume Calculator, and then vortex to mixthoroughly.
Pipette equal volumes of APTS Labeling Reagent into each well of the first columnof the Labeling Source Plate (PCR plate) as instructed in the Labeling Source Platetab of the Reagent Volume Calculator.
Add the Labeling Reagent:� Add 4.5 μL of Labeling Reagent to the side of each N-Glycan Sample well about
half way down the side of the well.� Tap the plate sharply on the bench and centrifuge briefly if necessary to ensure
that the droplet of Labeling Reagent drops to the bottom of the well.� Cover the plate with the Aluminum Seal provided.
Remove the tabs from the Aluminum Seal, as they can interfere with operation of theAssayMAP Bravo.
Orange section of the printed Reagent Volume Calculator“Sample Info & Reagent Prep” tab.
� Prepare no more than one hour before use
NOTE: APTS Labeling Reagent components arehazardous. Please refer to the Safety Data Sheetsincluded in the Kit or on our website. Perform thisprocedure using appropriate personal safety protection,eyeglasses and nitrile gloves.
NOTE: The APTS Solution is light-sensitive and theReductant Solution and APTS Catalyst are hygroscopic;minimize exposure to air and protect from exposure tolight. The individual reagents may be tightly capped,repackaged with the desiccant in the resealable bag, andfrozen (-20�C) for storage up to 6 months.
Use of the Labeling Source Plate is optional.
Dried N-glycans in Processing Plate.
Visually inspect to make sure there are no bubbles at thebottom of the well.
Supplied with the Kit; film may be cut with scissors ifusing less than the full Kit.
Proceed to Protocol 5.
28
5 Labeling Protocol
Place the sealed Processing Plate containing the N-Glycan Samples plus LabelingReagent on position#4.
Set the parameters in the Application Settings section:
� Enter the desired labeling reaction duration.
� Enter the desired labeling reaction temperature.
Third section of the orange graphic above.
Default duration is 60 minutes.
Default temperature is 50�C; allowed temperature range is20–70�C.
The temperature may be monitored on the digital readoutof the STC Controller.
Make sure that the AssayMAP Bravo deck looks like the Deck Layout shown. First section of the orange graphic above; labware islisted in the second section.
29
Click on “Run 5 Labeling.”
The Processing Plate containing N-Glycan Samples is moved from position#4 toposition#9, where it is mixed for one minute. It will remain there until the ThermalStation temperature is within 1�C of the set point (~10 minutes to achieve 50�C). Then the plate will be moved to position#4 and the timer starts. When finished, theplate is moved to position#7 and the protocol ends. The plate movement ensuresthat the N-Glycan Samples are at the desired temperature for the set amount of timewith no additional temperature ramp up or down.
A status line will show when the protocol is complete: “Run complete. Moduleidle.”
WARNING: Do not reach into the AssayMAP Bravo spacewhile it is operating. This will break the security line; theAssayMAP Bravo will make an emergency stop, and maynot be able to be restarted without intervention from aknowledgeable operator.
Prepare APTS Cleanup Protocol Reagents during the labeling incubation. Red section of the printed Reagent Volume Calculator“Sample Info & Reagent Prep” tab
NOTE: The maximum volume per channel is 7.0 ml.
• APTS Sample Load Buffer:
Add the amount of 5x APTS Sample Load Buffer indicated in the Reagent VolumeCalculator to a glass graduated cylinder using a volumetric pipette. Bring thevolume up to the final volume with HPLC-grade acetonitrile.
Transfer to a similarly sized glass container, cap tightly and swirl gently to mix.
� Prepare on the day of use. Store sealed in a similarlysized, clean, glass container until the Cleanup Protocol inorder to prevent evaporation of the acetonitrile. Precisecontrol of the acetonitrile concentration is important toensure both retention of N-glycans and removal of excessdye during Cleanup.
It is important to prevent preferential evaporation of theacetonitrile, which affects the performance of the HILICseparation.
At the software prompt, prepare for resuspension of the labeling reaction:
1. Move the plate containing the labeled N-Glycan Samples from position#7 to afume hood.
2. Allow the plate to cool for 5 minutes to room temperature.3. Remove the Aluminum Seal.
Remove the Aluminum Seal in a fume hood to avoidinhalation of hazardous reaction products.
NOTE: Be sure to remove all excess aluminum, as it caninterfere with the AssayMAP Bravo grippers and sensors
30
Proceed to Protocol 6.
6 APTS Cleanup Protocol
Remove the CU Cartridge Rack, Receiver Plate and tape from position#6. Replacethe lid to protect any unused Cartridges and store appropriately.
Set the parameters in the Application Settings section: Third section of the red graphic above.
Indicate the Final Eluate Volume. (50 - 100 �l, as needed for the specificanalytical method).
The AssayMAP Bravo elutes the Labeled N-Glycan Samplesquantitatively from the CU Cartridges in 50 �l of water. Any additional elution volume is added in a separate step.
The Labeled N-Glycan Samples are eluted from the CUCartridge as continuous fractions. A 1-minute mixing stepproduces a homogeneous sample, ready for analysis.
31
Place the Processing Plate containing the Labeled N-Glycan Samples on position#4.
Place the previously prepared Cleanup Solutions on the deck, making sure that thefilled reservoirs correspond to the CU Cartridge positions:
1. Place the 12-Column, Reservoir Plate containing CU Washing Solution (6 ml ofAPTS Sample Load Buffer in each reservoir) on position#5.
2. Place the 12-Column, Reservoir Plate containing CU Priming Solution (6 ml ofAPTS Sample Load Buffer in each reservoir) on position#6.
3. Place a 12-Column, Reservoir Plate containing 6 ml of APTS Sample Load Bufferin each reservoir on position#7 .
4. Place a 12-Column, Reservoir Plate containing HPLC-grade water (6 ml in eachreservoir) on position#8.
After removing the Aluminum Seal in a fume hood, eachwell now contains Labeled N-Glycan Samples plusunreacted dye, which will be removed using HILICchromatography.
Place an empty Square, Deep-Well Plate on position#3 for Waste.
Label an empty PCR Plate “CU Eluate” and place it on position#9. At the end of the protocol, the purified labeled N-glycanswill be in the CU Eluate.
Make sure that the AssayMAP Bravo deck looks like the Deck Layout shown. First section of the red graphic above; labware is listed inthe second section.
Click on “Run 6 Cleanup.” The protocol will take approximately 40 minutes.
Status is shown in the status bar.
WARNING: Do not reach into the AssayMAP Bravo spacewhile it is operating. This will break the security line; theAssayMAP Bravo will make an emergency stop, and maynot be able to be restarted without intervention from aknowledgeable operator.
32
Upon completion of the protocol:
1. Remove the Eluate Collection Plate containing the Labeled N-Glycan Samplesfrom position#9.
2. Proceed directly to analysis, or seal the plate with Aluminum Seal and store at-20�C.
3. Remove all other labware from the deck and discard any remaining solutionsand waste appropriately.
A status line will show when the protocol is complete: “Run complete. Module idle.”
The Labeled N-Glycan Samples are ready for analysis.
