Description

Cellotetraosan is a defined oligosaccharide derived from cellulose, specifically a tetramer of glucose units linked by β(1→4) glycosidic bonds. This compound serves as a valuable model substrate and intermediate for research and development in carbohydrate chemistry and enzymology. It is particularly relevant for industries focused on advanced biomaterials, biochemical research, and specialty chemical synthesis. Our supply of Cellotetraosan CAS NO 80325-59-3 ensures high purity and consistency for critical applications.

Application

• As a standard reference material for calibrating and validating analytical methods like HPLC and mass spectrometry in carbohydrate analysis.
• Used as a specific substrate for studying the activity, kinetics, and inhibition of cellulases and other glycosyl hydrolases.
• Employed in biochemical research to investigate cellulose degradation pathways and enzyme mechanisms.
• Serves as a key intermediate in the chemical and enzymatic synthesis of longer-chain cello-oligosaccharides or modified glycoconjugates.
• Applied in material science research for understanding the fundamental interactions in cellulose-based systems and nanocomposites.
• Potential use in cosmeceutical and pharmaceutical research for exploring bioactive oligosaccharide functions.

Quality Control

Our Cellotetraosan is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatographic purity assessment and structural confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for purity, identity, and moisture content is 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). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept under dry, inert conditions to maintain stability and prevent decomposition. For long-term storage, consider desiccation.
