Description

Mts-5-Galactose is a specialized monosaccharide derivative, a key building block in synthetic carbohydrate chemistry and glycobiology research. Its value lies in its role as a protected or activated intermediate for the controlled synthesis of complex oligosaccharides, glycoconjugates, and glycomimetics. This high-purity compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and diagnostic sectors developing novel therapeutics, vaccines, and analytical tools.

Application

• Glycoconjugate Synthesis: A crucial precursor for the chemical and enzymatic synthesis of glycoproteins, glycolipids, and other biologically active glycoconjugates.
• Oligosaccharide & Polysaccharide Production: Serves as a protected monomer unit for the stepwise construction of specific, complex carbohydrate chains.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the research and development of carbohydrate-based drugs, including antiviral agents, anti-inflammatory compounds, and targeted delivery systems.
• Diagnostic Reagent Development: Employed in creating labeled probes and substrates for assays that detect or quantify carbohydrate-binding proteins, enzymes, or pathogens.
• Biochemical Research: A fundamental tool for studying glycosylation processes, carbohydrate-protein interactions, and cell surface recognition events.
• Material Science: Potential use in creating functionalized biomaterials and hydrogels with specific biological recognition properties.

Quality Control

Our Mts-5-Galactose is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, NMR and MS for structural confirmation, and specific tests for residual solvents and moisture content. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every shipment to ensure traceability and compliance with your research or production specifications.

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 product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and light-sensitive; therefore, containers must be kept sealed in a desiccated environment and handled under appropriate conditions to prevent degradation.
