Description

Trehalose 2-Sulfate is a chemically modified derivative of the natural disaccharide trehalose, featuring a sulfate ester group at the 2-position. This modification imparts unique anionic and hydrophilic properties, making it a valuable intermediate for advanced biochemical research and specialty applications. It is particularly sought after by researchers and product developers in the pharmaceutical and life science sectors for its role in studying carbohydrate-protein interactions and as a potential building block for novel biomaterials.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Used as a key intermediate or substrate in enzymatic studies, particularly for sulfatases and carbohydrate-active enzymes.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Investigated as a potential precursor or active component in drug discovery programs targeting inflammation or metabolic pathways.
• Glycobiology Studies: Serves as a standard or probe for analyzing sulfated carbohydrate structures and their biological functions.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Explored for use in advanced skincare formulations where modified sugars can offer moisturizing or stabilizing benefits.
• Diagnostic Reagents: Potential use in the development of diagnostic assays and kits that require specific carbohydrate motifs.

Quality Control

Our Trehalose 2-Sulfate is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch is characterized and tested to ensure identity, purity, and consistency suitable for research and development purposes. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications such as purity (HPLC), identity (NMR/IR), and moisture content is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance requirements.

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). To maintain stability and prevent decomposition, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or inert atmosphere.
