Description

Glucose Pentasulfate, Potassium Salt is a highly sulfated carbohydrate derivative, a potassium salt form of a glucose molecule modified with five sulfate groups. This chemical structure is significant for its ability to mimic certain biological polysaccharides, making it a valuable tool in biochemical research and development. It is primarily sought by researchers and manufacturers in the life sciences, pharmaceutical development, and specialty chemical synthesis sectors for applications requiring specific polyanionic properties.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Used as a model compound or standard for studying sulfated polysaccharide interactions, enzyme inhibition (e.g., heparanase), and carbohydrate-protein binding assays.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Investigated for its potential biological activity in areas such as anticoagulation, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral research due to its polyanionic nature.
• Enzyme Substrate/Analyte: Serves as a specific substrate for enzymes like sulfatases or as an analyte in method development for analytical techniques like HPLC or capillary electrophoresis.
• Specialty Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a key intermediate or building block for the synthesis of more complex sulfated oligosaccharides or glycoconjugates.
• Cell Culture & Molecular Biology: Potential use as a component in media or buffers to modulate cell surface interactions or as a tool in glycobiology studies.

Quality Control

Every batch of Glucose Pentasulfate, Potassium Salt is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. Our products undergo rigorous analytical testing, including chromatographic purity analysis and identity confirmation, to ensure consistency and compliance with research-grade standards. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and support your critical research and development work.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect stability and handling properties.
