The CCRC offers custom synthesis and analysis of complex carbohydrates as a service to scientists in university, industrial, and government laboratories. We also offer assistance to those who need information on complex carbohydrates derived from animals, plants and microorganisms.
Analytical Services
Analyses of carbohydrates of plant or microbial origin :
CCRC Analytical Services offers purification and structural analysis of carbohydrate based samples such as oligosaccharides and polysaccharides from plant and bacteria (LPS, CPS and EPS) for their chemical structure using a combination of chromatography, mass spectrometry, and NMR spectroscopy techniques. For more information please contact:
Dr. Parastoo Azadi (Technical Director)
706-583-0629 (azadi@ccrc.uga.edu).
Analyses of carbohydrates of animal or microbial origin:
CCRC Analytical Services offers purification and structural analysis of glycoprotein and glycolipid samples using a combination of chromatography, ESI-MS, MALDI-MS and NMR spectroscopy techniques. The analysis can involve Glycomics and Glycoproteomics for both purified glycoproteins and also glycoproteins that are we can isolate from cells. For more information on please contact:

Please do not submit samples without prior agreement.
CarboSource Services
Provides nucleotide-sugar substrates for plant cell wall biosynthesis studies and monoclonal antibodies that recognize diverse plant cell wall components.
Contact Erica S. Chandler at 706-542-4499 (carbosource@ccrc.uga.edu).
Service Synthesis Laboratory
Provides custom syntheses of oligosaccharides, glycoconjugates, and related compounds using the latest synthetic technologies.
Contact Dr. Geert-Jan Boons: 706-542-9161 (gjboons@ccrc.uga.edu).
NMR spectroscopy/collaborations
The CCRC NMR spectroscopy facility, under the direction of Professor James H. Prestegard, is used to determine molecular structures of carbohydrates and proteins.
Contact Dr. John Glushka: 706-542-4483 (glushka @ccrc.uga.edu)
Mass spectrometry/collaborations
The CCRC mass spectrometry facility, under the direction of Dr. Ron Orlando, provides state-of-the-art techniques to characterize proteins and protein post-translational modifications
Contact Dr. Ron Orlando: 706-542-4429 (Orlando@ccrc.uga.edu)
Molecular modeling/collaborations
The molecular modeling computational simulations use the all-atom AMBER force field for proteins and nucleic acids and a novel set of parameters (GLYCAM) developed by Dr. Rob Woods' group for use with carbohydrates.
