Description

β-D-Man-(1→6)-D-Man is a defined disaccharide composed of two mannose units linked via a β-1,6-glycosidic bond. This compound serves as a critical reference standard and biochemical building block for research and development in carbohydrate chemistry. It is essential for scientists and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and diagnostic reagent sectors who require high-purity, structurally-defined oligosaccharides for analytical, synthetic, and enzymatic studies.

Application

• Biochemical Research & Standard: Used as a high-purity reference standard for HPLC, LC-MS, and NMR analysis to identify and quantify mannose-containing oligosaccharides in complex biological samples.
• Enzymology Studies: Serves as a specific substrate or inhibitor for studying the activity, kinetics, and specificity of glycosidases, glycosyltransferases, and other carbohydrate-active enzymes.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Acts as a key intermediate or precursor in the synthesis of complex glycoconjugates, glycopeptides, and glycomimetic drugs targeting various diseases.
• Diagnostic Reagent Manufacturing: Employed in the production of diagnostic kits and biosensors that detect specific carbohydrate-protein interactions or enzymatic pathways.
• Glycobiology & Cell Biology: Utilized to probe cell surface interactions, signal transduction pathways, and the role of specific glycan structures in immunology and inflammation.
• Nutritional Science: Applied in research investigating prebiotic fibers, carbohydrate metabolism, and the functional properties of dietary oligosaccharides.

Quality Control

Our β-D-Man-(1→6)-D-Man is produced under stringent quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity for research applications. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, NMR and MS for structural confirmation, and tests for residual solvents and moisture. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting all specifications and test results.

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. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or inert atmosphere.
