Description

Mannotriose CAS NO 6817-81-8 is a naturally occurring trisaccharide composed of three mannose units, serving as a key intermediate in carbohydrate metabolism and glycobiology research. This high-purity oligosaccharide is essential for studying enzyme mechanisms, cell signaling pathways, and as a reference standard in analytical chemistry. It is primarily utilized by research institutions, diagnostic manufacturers, and biotechnology companies developing advanced therapeutic and diagnostic platforms.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Used as a substrate or inhibitor in enzymatic studies, particularly for mannosidases and glycosyltransferases.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Serves as a critical intermediate or reference standard in the development of glycoprotein-based drugs and vaccines.
• Diagnostic Reagents: Employed in the formulation of calibration standards and controls for clinical diagnostic kits targeting carbohydrate-related biomarkers.
• Nutritional Science: Investigated as a potential prebiotic agent for modulating gut microbiota composition and function.
• Glycoconjugate Synthesis: Acts as a building block for the chemical and enzymatic synthesis of more complex oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates.

Quality Control

Our Mannotriose is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing including HPLC for purity, specific optical rotation, and residual solvent analysis to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption.
