Purity: ≥99%
Trehalose is a naturally occurring, non-reducing disaccharide widely found in nature. It serves not only as a food preservative but also effectively preserves enzymes, vaccines, cells, and many other molecular structures.
Solubility in water: 68.9 g/100g (at 20°C). It is soluble in hot ethanol but insoluble in ether. Trehalose exhibits excellent heat resistance and acid tolerance.Trehalose helps stabilize protein structures and provides anti-desiccation effects. It acts as a lyoprotectant for enzymes, antigens, and antibodies during freeze-drying, significantly enhancing the stability of diagnostic reagents.In Molecular Diagnostics:Trehalose is used for freeze-drying enzymes and protecting liquid enzymes, improving the stability and performance of reaction system reagents.Trehalose can replace serum albumin as a protective agent, substantially enhancing the stability of vaccine products. This allows many vaccines to be stored at room temperature, reducing the high costs associated with cold chain transportation. More importantly, it helps prevent the transmission of life-threatening diseases such as hepatitis B and AIDS caused by blood-derived contamination.
