Carbo Analytics develops systems that give accurate sugar analysis, simply and quickly, for the BioFuel, Brewing & Distilling, Food & Beverage and Pharmaceutical industries. Traditional sugar analysis methods can be inaccurate, time consuming, expensive, produce hazard waste and require highly trained technicians to operate. The Carbo Analytics system uses new patented microchip technology to rapidly separate and individually measure sugars such as monosaccharides (glucose, fructose and galactose), disaccharides (sucrose, lactose and maltose), amino acids, alcohols and more. We run electro-chromatography for precise separations and Pulsed Amperometric Detection (PAD), the accepted gold standard in carbohydrate analysis, automatically and inexpensively.

About Carbo Analytics
Carbo Analytics develops systems that give accurate sugar analysis, simply and quickly, for the biofuel, brewing & distilling and food processing industries. Their patented microfluidic microchip technology, referred to as Lab-on-a-Chip, puts the functionality of HPLC pumps, valves, injection loops, detectors, and columns onto a simple replaceable microchip to separate and individually measure sugars such as monosaccharides (glucose, fructose and galactose) and disaccharides (sucrose, lactose and maltose). The technology combines Capillary Electrophoresis (CE) to separate components and Pulsed Amperometric Detection (PAD) to measure them.
