Description

Maltotetradecaose CAS NO 107882-52-0 is a defined linear oligosaccharide composed of fourteen glucose units linked by α-1,4 glycosidic bonds. This high-purity carbohydrate standard is critical for research and industrial applications requiring precise molecular weight calibration and structural reference. It serves as an essential tool for analytical scientists and product developers in the food science, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology sectors.

Application

• Chromatography Standard: Used as a high-molecular-weight calibration standard for Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) and High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) systems to characterize polysaccharides and other biopolymers.
• Enzyme Substrate & Research: Acts as a specific substrate for studying the activity, kinetics, and inhibition of enzymes like amylases, glucoamylases, and other starch-degrading enzymes.
• Food Science & Nutrition Research: Employed in research on dietary fiber, carbohydrate digestion, glycemic index studies, and the development of functional foods.
• Biochemical Reagent: Serves as a precise biochemical reagent in microbiological media formulation and in studies of carbohydrate metabolism and recognition.
• Reference Material: Provides a well-defined oligosaccharide reference for quality control in the production of maltooligosaccharide syrups and related products.

Quality Control

Our Maltotetradecaose is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (IR, NMR) to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and calibration. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) specifying purity, moisture content, and analytical results is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at 2-8°C. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Allow the container to reach room temperature before opening to prevent condensation and moisture uptake.
