What is D( )- Galactose? Sometimes abbreviated Gal, is a monosaccharide sugar that is about as sweet as glucose, and about 65% as sweet as sucrose. It is an aldohexose and a C-4 epimer of glucose. A galactose molecule linked with a glucose molecule forms a lactose molecule. Consistent Quality: We provide only high-quality D( )- Galactose, ensuring reliable and consistent performance for all applications. Shipped from Manchester, UK Facility: Sourced and packaged in non-toxic, chemical-resistant containers to ensure safe handling and preserve product quality during transport. Frequent Uses Microbial Culture MediaIt is a common carbohydrate source used in bacterial and fungal growth media, particularly for cultivating organisms like lactobacilli, coliforms, Salmonella, and streptococci. Liver Function AssessmentGalactose-based tests, such as the Gal elimination capacity test, are employed to evaluate liver health and assess the severity of liver disease. Genetic ResearchWhole-body galactose oxidation can be used as a functional biomarker to assess the expression and duration of gene therapy, particularly in gene-based therapies targeting the GALT gene. VaccinesGalactose is found in some vaccines and non-prescription products. Can be used as a component of galactosyltransferase labeling buffer Culture media Metabolism tests Vaccines Assay: ≥ 99.0% MF: C6H12O6 MW: 180.16 Physical Description: White to off-white crystalline powder Specific Optical Rotation: 78.5 - 81.0 ° Loss on Drying: ≤ 0.5% Residue on Ignition: ≤ 0.2% Chloride: ≤ 30ppm Sulphate: ≤ 50ppm Heavy Metals (as Pb): ≤ 10ppm Arsenic (As): ≤ 1.0ppm Lead (Pb): ≤ 3.0ppm Cadmium (Cd): ≤ 1.0ppm Mercury (Hg): ≤ 0.1ppm Cas Number: 59-23-4Einecs Number: 200-416-4HS Code / Commodity Code: 2940000020Hazard Phrases: H0001
