Description

Lacto-n-Fucopentaose Iii CAS NO 25541-09-7 is a well-defined human milk oligosaccharide (HMO) and a key fucosylated glycan. This high-purity reference standard is critical for research and development in advanced nutritional science and glycobiology. It is primarily utilized by scientists and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, infant formula, and diagnostic sectors for analytical calibration, method development, and as a bioactive component.

Application

• Infant Nutrition Research: As a reference standard for the analysis and quantification of HMOs in breast milk and infant formula to study their prebiotic and immune-modulating effects.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Used in the research of glycan-based therapeutics, including anti-adhesion agents and drugs targeting specific lectin interactions.
• Diagnostic Reagent Manufacturing: Serves as a critical component in the production of calibration kits and assays for clinical diagnostics related to metabolic and inflammatory markers.
• Glycobiology Studies: Essential for investigating cell-cell recognition, host-pathogen interactions, and the role of specific fucosylated structures in biological systems.
• Functional Food & Nutraceuticals: Employed in R&D for developing next-generation prebiotic supplements and specialized nutritional products aimed at gut health.
• Microbiome Research: Used as a substrate to study the metabolism of specific gut microbiota and its influence on human health.
