Description

Chondroitin Sulfate Trisaccharide is a defined, low-molecular-weight oligosaccharide derived from the enzymatic or chemical depolymerization of chondroitin sulfate. This specific trisaccharide unit is critical for research into the structure-activity relationships of glycosaminoglycans and their biological functions. It serves as a valuable reference standard and building block for biochemical and pharmaceutical development. Key industries requiring this high-purity material include pharmaceutical R&D, biotechnology, and advanced nutraceutical research.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Used for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of chondroitin sulfate products and complex polysaccharide mixtures via HPLC, LC-MS, or CE.
• Biochemical Research: Essential for studying carbohydrate-protein interactions, enzyme kinetics (e.g., hyaluronidases, sulfatases), and cell signaling pathways involving glycosaminoglycans.
• Drug Discovery & Development: Acts as a precise intermediate or starting material for the synthesis of novel glycan-based therapeutics, including anti-inflammatory and anti-coagulant agents.
• Nutraceutical Analysis: Employed as a calibration standard to assay the content and purity of chondroitin sulfate in dietary supplements, ensuring product quality and label claim verification.
• Diagnostic Reagent Component: Utilized in the development of diagnostic kits and assays designed to detect specific carbohydrate epitopes or enzyme activities.

Quality Control

Our Chondroitin Sulfate Trisaccharide is produced and tested under strict quality management protocols. Each batch is characterized using advanced analytical techniques to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) that include data from HPLC, NMR, and MS analysis. While produced as a high-purity biochemical, it is suitable for use as a reference standard in regulated environments, with documentation supporting its traceability.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below for long-term stability. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Allow the vial to equilibrate to room temperature in a dry environment before opening to prevent condensation and moisture uptake.
