Glucosamine [Oligosaccharides by Component Sugar] — covers oligosaccharides and polysaccharides containing glucosamine or N-acetylglucosamine units as their constituent sugars, ranging from short-chain chitooligosaccharides to chitosan with varying viscosities. This group represents chitin-derived carbohydrates across various degrees of polymerization.
Glucosamine Oligosaccharides are used in glycobiology, biomaterials, and polysaccharide chemistry research, for example as substrates for testing chitinase enzyme activity or for studying film and hydrogel formation based on chitosan. Azide or acetylated derivatives are also used as building blocks in glycoconjugate synthesis via click reactions or chemical coupling in the laboratory.
Example products in this collection: TCI T2912 38864-21-0 N,N',N''-Triacetylchitotriose, TCI C2395 9012-76-4 Chitosan (5-20mPa.s, 0.5% in 0.5% Acetic Acid at 20deg C), TCI T2910 2706-65-2 N,N',N'',N'''-Tetraacetylchitotetraose, TCI C2396 9012-76-4 Chitosan (20-100mPa.s, 0.5% in 0.5% Acetic Acid at 20deg C), TCI A3636 32181-59-2 N-Acetyllactosamine, TCI C2642 117436-78-9 Chitotriose Trihydrochloride, TCI A3466 219814-62-7 2-Acetamido-6-azido-2,6-dideoxy-D-glucopyranose, TCI C2762 Chitin Oligosaccharides (contains N-Acetylglucosamine).
Pay attention to the degree of polymerization (number of sugar units), degree of acetylation, and solution viscosity of products such as chitosan, as these parameters determine their suitability for the intended research application. All products are genuine products of Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on the page of each item.
