Boronate Affinity Chromatography consists of using boronic acid or boronates to elute and quantify amounts of glycoproteins. Clinical adaptations have applied this type of chromatography for use in determining long term assessment of diabetic patients through analyzation of their glycohemoglobin.

Lectin affinity chromatography is a form of affinity chromatography where lectins are used to separate components within the sample. Lectins, such as Concanavalin A[9] are proteins which can bind specific alpha-D-mannose and alpha-D-glucose carbohydrate molecules. Another example is wheat germ agglutinin which binds D-N-acetyl-glucosamine. The most common application is to separate glycoproteins from non-glycosylated proteins, or one glycoform from another glycoform.
