RETRACTED: The application of quantum dots as fluorescent label to glycoarray

Reason: It has come to the attention of the editors of Analytical Biochemistry that this article contains some material that closely resembles that found in an article by Fabio Fazio, Marian C. Bryan, Ola Blixt, James C. Paulson, and Chi-Huey Wong [Synthesis of sugar arrays in microtiter plate, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 124 (2002) 14397-14402]. The editors have instructed Elsevier to retract this article for the following reasons: (1) Figure 3 of the article, a mass spectrographic analysis of data, is a direct copy of Figure 3 of the article by Fazio et al. and (2) the paragraph describing that figure is identical in both publications with the exception of identifying numbers of the compounds designated. Given these observations, the originality of all other aspects of the paper cannot be accepted as meeting the standards of Analytical Biochemistry.
