Description

Peanut Agglutinin Precursor is a specialized biochemical reagent and a key intermediate in the production of lectins. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers requiring high-purity, well-characterized starting materials for glycobiology and immunology applications. It is primarily utilized by the biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and life science research sectors for developing diagnostic tools, affinity chromatography media, and cell biology studies.

Application

• Glycobiology Research: As a critical precursor for synthesizing Peanut Agglutinin (PNA), a lectin used to study cell surface carbohydrates, particularly T-antigen (Gal-β(1-3)-GalNAc).
• Diagnostic Reagent Production: Serves as a raw material in manufacturing kits for histochemistry, flow cytometry, and ELISA to detect specific glycan structures.
• Affinity Chromatography Ligand: Used in the development of purification columns for isolating glycoproteins, polysaccharides, and specific cell populations.
• Cell Separation and Analysis: Enables the production of reagents for labeling and isolating stem cells, lymphocytes, and other cell types based on surface glycan markers.
• Biopharmaceutical Development: Employed in R&D for targeted drug delivery systems and vaccine development that exploit carbohydrate-lectin interactions.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: A fundamental tool for investigating cell differentiation, cancer metastasis, and microbial pathogenesis mechanisms.

Quality Control

Our Peanut Agglutinin Precursor is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and production. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results are provided to guarantee traceability and consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed in a desiccated environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider inert atmosphere conditions.
