Methods for making designed carbohydrate affinity columns and lectin columns are provided. Reducing sugar of choice is dissolved in pH 6.0 acetate buffer and injected onto a primary amino group functionality column. The column is washed with pH 6.0 acetate buffer and the column effluent monitored with a variable wavelength UV detector. Lectin columns are made by injecting appropriate lectin to the designed carbohydrate and the lectin binds to this scaffold. The lectin column is formed.
