Description

D-Galactose, [o-3,6-Anhydro-α-L-Galactopyranosyl-(1→3)-o-β-D-Galactopyranosyl-(1→4)]5-o-3,6-Anhydro-α-L-Galactopyranosyl-(1→3)- is a defined, high-purity oligosaccharide derivative of galactose. This compound is valued for its specific glycosidic linkages and structural complexity, making it a critical reference standard and research-grade biochemical. It is primarily required by pharmaceutical R&D, biotechnology, and advanced life science sectors for studies in carbohydrate chemistry, glycobiology, and as a potential intermediate for novel therapeutics or diagnostic reagents.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research & Development: Used as a high-purity reference standard or building block for synthesizing complex glycans and glycoconjugates in drug discovery.
• Glycobiology Studies: Serves as a critical substrate or inhibitor for investigating enzyme mechanisms (e.g., glycosyltransferases, glycosidases) and carbohydrate-protein interactions.
• Diagnostic Reagent Development: Potential use in the formulation of specialized assays, biosensors, or diagnostic kits targeting specific carbohydrate epitopes.
• Academic & Industrial Research: Essential for basic and applied research in carbohydrate chemistry, structural analysis, and metabolic pathway studies.
• Biochemical Synthesis: Acts as a key chiral intermediate or precursor for the synthesis of more complex oligosaccharides, glycopeptides, or glycomimetics.
• Standards for Analytical Methods: Used to calibrate and validate analytical techniques such as HPLC, LC-MS, and NMR in quality control laboratories.

Quality Control

Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. Every batch is characterized using advanced analytical techniques to confirm identity, purity, and structural integrity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific test results are available upon request. We adhere to a cGMP-compliant quality management system suitable for research and pharmaceutical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept under dry, inert conditions to maintain stability and purity. For long-term storage, consider desiccant use and temperature monitoring.
