Description

Mannose CAS NO 530-26-7 is a vital monosaccharide sugar, an epimer of glucose, that serves as a fundamental building block in biochemistry and industrial applications. Its significance lies in its role as a key precursor for glycosylation and its functional properties in various biological and chemical processes. This high-purity sugar is essential for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and research sectors, where it is used in the synthesis of glycoproteins, dietary supplements, and as a critical component in cell culture media and diagnostic reagents.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: A key starting material for the synthesis of glycosylated drugs, antiviral agents, and other active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplements: Used in formulations targeting urinary tract health and as a prebiotic ingredient to support beneficial gut microbiota.
• Biochemical Research & Cell Culture: Serves as a defined carbon source in microbial fermentation and mammalian cell culture media for bioproduction and research.
• Diagnostic Reagents: Employed in the manufacture of test kits and reagents for clinical diagnostics and biochemical assays.
• Food Science: Functions as a low-glycemic sweetener and a texturizing agent in specialized food products.
• Cosmetic Ingredients: Incorporated into skincare formulations for its moisturizing and skin-conditioning properties.

Quality Control

Our Mannose is produced under a stringent quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We offer grades compliant with relevant standards for pharmaceutical and food applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, purity, and specific tests are provided with each shipment to guarantee compliance with your specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or degradation.
