[Histonet] re: proteoglycans

[caron fournier]

I wanted to know if anyone has a method that can be used to demonstrate "quantitatively" how much proteoglycan there is in a vertebral disc?
  I know that there are some stains that can demonstrate Glucosaminglycans and proteoglycans but can they be quantitative? Or, is a spectrophotometer the only way to go?
  Thanks,
  Caron
