The present invention relates to a method for detection, identification and/or quantification of one or more carbohydrates. The method comprises the steps of contacting an objector a sample with a luminescent conjugated oligothiophene (LCO) and detecting at least one detection signal of the luminescent conjugated oligothiophene. The presence of and/or the identity of and/or the quantity of one or more carbohydrates that is or are present on said object or in said sample is determined based on said detected detection signal from the LCO. The invention encompasses methods for carbohydrate detection by use of oligothiopene derivatives. The methods are quick, easy and direct and can be performed in real time as well as in situ.
