Properties
Description
This research tool provides a highly pure (≥95%) dansyl derivative of lactosyl, connected by a 5 kDa polyethylene glycol (PEG) chain for fluorescent imaging of carbohydrate-related phenomena.
Molecular Weight
PEG 5 kDa
Source
Chemical synthesis
Solubility
Dansyl-PEG-lactosyl is soluble in a wide range of organic solvents, such as DCM, DMF, and DMSO, and shows excellent solubility in water.
Identity
Confirmed by NMR.
Applications
Dansyl conjugated to lactosyl with a 5 kDa PEG spacer can be employed as a polar tracer to study the permeability of carbohydrate-based hydrogels.
