During the Maria S. Merian cruise MSM95 to the Fram Strait in 2020, water samples were collected from nine stations using a CTD rosette sampler (SeaBird SBE 911Plus). Samples were collected at several depths. From each sample, 4 L of seawater was filtered onto a 0.7 µm GF/F filter using a peristaltic pump. The filters were immediately stored at -80 °C. From each of the filters, 2 x 11.2 mm circular pieces were removed and subject to acid hydrolysis (1 M HCI for 24 h at 100 °C). The aliquots were run in a speed vac before resuspension in MilliQ. Measurements of monosaccharides were obtained using High-performance anion exchange chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection along with standards.
