Description

6'-n-Acetylneuramin-Lactose Sodium Salt is a high-purity, chemically defined derivative of lactose and sialic acid, widely recognized as a key intermediate and reference standard in advanced biochemical research. Its primary value lies in its role as a specific substrate or inhibitor for enzymes like neuraminidases and sialyltransferases, enabling critical studies in glycobiology and virology. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, diagnostic, and life science sectors who are developing antiviral agents, studying cell surface interactions, or producing high-sensitivity diagnostic kits.

Application

• Enzymology Research: Used as a specific substrate for studying the kinetics and inhibition of neuraminidase (sialidase) enzymes.
• Antiviral Drug Development: Serves as a crucial reference compound and intermediate in the research and screening of novel influenza and parainfluenza virus inhibitors.
• Glycobiology Studies: Employed in investigations of sialic acid metabolism, glycan biosynthesis, and cell-cell recognition processes.
• Diagnostic Reagent Manufacturing: Acts as a key component in the formulation of enzymatic assay kits for detecting neuraminidase activity.
• Biochemical Standard: Provides a high-purity standard for the calibration of analytical instruments (HPLC, MS) and quality control of related bioproducts.
• Carbohydrate Chemistry: Utilized as a building block or precursor in the synthetic chemistry of complex oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates.

Quality Control

Our 6'-n-Acetylneuramin-Lactose Sodium Salt is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, NMR and MS for structural confirmation, and tests for residual solvents and moisture to ensure it meets the stringent requirements for research and development. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic data are provided for every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

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 desiccant or under an inert atmosphere to maintain stability and purity. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to prevent condensation.
