This protocol describes the procedures where a PCR instrument-assisted acidolysis is used for releasing monosaccharides from serum glycans. The monosaccharide composition analysis is subsequently obtained by a HPLC method that separates and quantifies all 1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone (PMP)-labeled monosaccharides in 10 μl serum in 20 minutes. The rapid heating, precise temperature control, and gradient heating properties of PCR instrument provides with consistent acidolysis and derivatization
