Description

3-o-Sulfogalactose is a specialized monosaccharide derivative where a sulfate group is esterified at the 3-O position of the galactose molecule. This specific sulfation pattern is critical for its biological activity and function as a key intermediate in the synthesis of complex glycans and sulfated carbohydrates. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the life sciences sector requiring high-purity building blocks for glycoscience. This compound is particularly valuable for applications in biochemical research, pharmaceutical development, and the study of carbohydrate-protein interactions.

Application

• Glycobiology Research: Serves as a crucial intermediate for studying sulfated glycan structures, enzyme substrates, and metabolic pathways.
• Pharmaceutical Synthesis: Used as a building block in the development of heparin analogs, glycan-based therapeutics, and diagnostic agents.
• Enzyme Substrate & Inhibitor Development: Acts as a specific substrate for sulfatases and glycosyltransferases in mechanistic and inhibition studies.
• Bioconjugation & Probe Synthesis: Facilitates the creation of labeled probes for imaging, biosensing, and investigating cell-surface interactions.
• Standards & Reference Materials: Provides a high-purity analytical standard for quality control in carbohydrate analysis and regulatory submissions.
• Nutraceutical & Cosmetic Ingredient Research: Investigated for potential bioactivity in advanced skincare and functional food formulations.

Quality Control

Every batch of 3-o-Sulfogalactose is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. We provide comprehensive analytical documentation to ensure product integrity and traceability for your research and development needs. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are available for each lot upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at 2-8°C. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed under anhydrous conditions to maintain stability and purity. For long-term storage, consider desiccant or inert atmosphere.
