Description

α-Fuc-[1->2]-β-Gal-[1->3]-(α-Fuc-[1->4])-β-Glcnac-[1->3]-β-Gal-[1->4]-(α-Fuc-[1->3])-β-Glcnac-[1->3]-β-Gal-[1->4]-Glc CAS NO 120864-60-0 is a complex, well-defined oligosaccharide, specifically a branched fucosylated lacto-N-hexaose derivative. This compound is of significant value as a high-purity reference standard and research-grade biochemical for investigating carbohydrate-protein interactions. It is primarily needed by academic research institutions, diagnostic developers, and biopharmaceutical companies focused on glycobiology, immunology, and the development of novel therapeutics.

Application

• Glycobiology Research: Used as a critical substrate or inhibitor to study enzyme kinetics (e.g., fucosyltransferases, glycosidases) and carbohydrate-binding protein specificity.
• Immunological Studies: Serves as a defined antigen for probing antibody responses or as a ligand for characterizing lectin and selectin binding involved in inflammation and cell adhesion.
• Diagnostic Development: Acts as a precise coating antigen or calibrator in ELISA and other immunoassays designed to detect specific anti-carbohydrate antibodies.
• Biopharmaceutical R&D: Employed in the screening and characterization of potential therapeutic agents, such as anti-adhesion drugs or vaccines targeting carbohydrate epitopes.
• Microbial Interaction Studies: Used to investigate host-pathogen interactions where bacterial or viral adhesins recognize specific fucosylated glycans.
• Reference Standard: Provides an essential, structurally defined standard for the quality control and validation of analytical methods (HPLC, MS) in carbohydrate analysis.

Quality Control

Our research-grade oligosaccharides are produced and analyzed under stringent conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and structural fidelity. Each lot is characterized using a combination of advanced analytical techniques including HPLC, mass spectrometry (MS), and NMR spectroscopy. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and other critical parameters is provided with every shipment to support your GLP/GMP-compliant research.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below in a dry environment. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). For long-term storage, consider desiccation. Allow the vial to equilibrate to room temperature in a dry atmosphere before opening to prevent condensation and moisture uptake.
