Description

6'-n-Acetylneuramin-Lactose Sodium Salt is a chemically defined, high-purity derivative of sialyllactose, a key oligosaccharide found in human milk. This compound is critical for research and development in life sciences, serving as a standard reference material and a vital building block for glycobiology studies. It is primarily utilized by pharmaceutical R&D teams, diagnostic manufacturers, and academic researchers focused on carbohydrate chemistry, infant nutrition, and the development of glycan-based therapeutics.

Application

• Glycobiology Research Standard: Used as a high-purity reference standard for the analysis and quantification of sialylated oligosaccharides in complex biological samples.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Acts as a key intermediate or active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in the development of novel therapeutics targeting microbial adhesion, inflammation, and neurological functions.
• Infant Formula Research: Employed in studies aiming to replicate the bioactive components of human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) to enhance the nutritional profile of advanced infant formulas.
• Diagnostic Reagent Manufacturing: Serves as a critical component in the production of diagnostic kits and assays for detecting specific carbohydrate-binding proteins or pathogens.
• Cell Culture & Media Supplement: Used as a defined additive in specialized cell culture media to study cell surface interactions, signaling, and growth.
• Bioconjugation & Probe Synthesis: Provides a functionalized carbohydrate backbone for the synthesis of fluorescent or affinity probes used in imaging and biomarker discovery.
