Your Trusted Liquid Phase-based DEGL Construction Partner
Depending on the client's needs, CD BioGlyco provides structurally diverse, high-quality glycan library construction services and also ensures DNA-compatible reaction conditions.
Liquid-liquid Two-phase Flow Reaction System Design
- Relying on a robust flow system, our researchers use amide bond formation on a DNA-tagged amine to construct DEGL in flow. Our researchers transfer the amide coupling reaction on a DNA-tagged amine to flow chemistry.
- The liquid-liquid biphasic contains a dispersed phase and a continuous phase. We offer liquid-liquid biphasic optimization of DNA-tagged substrates. Our lab controls the flow state by regulating the fluid velocity.
- Depending on the needs of the DNA encoding substrate, our researchers provide a stable biphasic flow to ensure that the reaction mixture is separated individually.
- Our researchers systematically optimize different reaction conditions, including adjusting pH, temperature, and catalyst concentration.
- We offer a full range of validation services including conversion analysis, amide coupling reaction utility testing, structure, and purity of amide coupling products. We provide reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) purification and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) analysis.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are the advantages of liquid phase-based DEGL?
- Efficiency and accuracy: Liquid-phase synthesis is typically performed in solution, and our researchers utilize known chemical reactions to perform multi-step synthesis under precise control.
- Many two-phase liquid-phase synthesis reactions can be carried out under physiological conditions, which is particularly important for the synthesis of biologically active molecules.
- Automation and high-throughput screening: Liquid phase synthesis methods can be used in conjunction with advanced automation devices, and large-scale synthesis and screening processes can be automated via robotic platforms, thereby improving overall experimental efficiency and data consistency.
- What is DEGL?
- DEGL utilizes DNA as an identity marker to link each glycan to a unique DNA sequence, creating a large library of screenable glycans. It can be used to efficiently screen and identify glycan molecules that have specific interactions with particular biological targets (e.g., proteins, cells, tissues, etc.).
