Description

β-D-Gal-[1->4]-β-D-Glcnac-1->o-Cete is a synthetic carbohydrate derivative, specifically a glycosylated compound where a lactose-related disaccharide is linked to a cetyl (C16) alkyl chain via an ether bond. This unique amphiphilic structure makes it a valuable intermediate for advanced research and development in glycobiology and materials science. It is primarily utilized by researchers and product developers in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and specialty chemical industries for creating novel bioactive conjugates, surfactants, and delivery systems.

Application

• Glycoconjugate Synthesis: A key building block for the chemical and enzymatic synthesis of more complex glycoconjugates, neoglycolipids, and glycopeptides for biological studies.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Used in the development of drug delivery vehicles, such as liposomes and micelles, to enhance the targeting and bioavailability of therapeutic agents.
• Biochemical Tools: Serves as a substrate, inhibitor, or standard in enzymatic assays to study glycosyltransferase and glycosidase activities.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Ingredients: Functions as a specialty surfactant or conditioning agent in high-end formulations due to its sugar-based hydrophilic head and lipid-soluble tail.
• Material Science: Employed in the creation of functionalized surfaces, hydrogels, and biocompatible polymers with specific carbohydrate recognition properties.
• Diagnostic Reagent Development: Used to produce probes and labels for detecting carbohydrate-binding proteins (lectins) and antibodies in diagnostic kits.

Quality Control

Our β-D-Gal-[1->4]-β-D-Glcnac-1->o-Cete is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation by NMR and MS, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at 2-8°C or as indicated on the label. Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a desiccated environment to prevent moisture absorption and decomposition. For long-term storage, consider under an inert atmosphere.
