Description

Laminaritriose is a defined oligosaccharide derived from laminarin, a β-glucan found in brown algae. This high-purity reference standard is critical for research and development in carbohydrate chemistry and biochemistry. It serves as an essential tool for scientists in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and life science industries studying β-glucan structure, function, and bioactivity.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Used as a precise reference standard for the analysis and quantification of laminarin and other β-glucans via techniques like HPLC and mass spectrometry.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Employed in studies investigating the immunomodulatory and anti-tumor properties of specific β-glucan oligomers for potential drug candidates.
• Enzymology Studies: Serves as a specific substrate for characterizing the activity and kinetics of β-glucanases, laminarinases, and other carbohydrate-active enzymes.
• Nutraceutical & Functional Food R&D: Used to establish structure-activity relationships for β-glucans, supporting claims related to immune health and metabolic benefits.
• Quality Control & Standardization: Acts as a critical calibrant for ensuring the consistency and purity of β-glucan extracts used in commercial supplements and cosmetic applications.
• Academic Research: Fundamental tool for exploring carbohydrate metabolism, plant and algal biology, and host-pathogen interactions involving β-glucan recognition.

Quality Control

Our Laminaritriose is produced and tested to meet the exacting standards required for research and analytical applications. Each batch undergoes rigorous analysis to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity (by HPLC), identification (NMR/IR), and other critical parameters is provided to guarantee traceability and support your compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at 2-8°C. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Allow the vial to equilibrate to room temperature in a dry environment before opening to prevent moisture absorption.
