To utilise free capacity we offer custom synthesis or manufacture. Our Products GLYCON Biochemicals, a specialist in the field of carbohydrate chemistry, exploit a wide variety of chemical reactions and process technologies for the synthesis of carbohydrates and their derivatives. These include: non lonic detergents - alkyl-beta-maltosides (with C6-C13-alkyl) - alkyl-beta-D-glucopyranosides (C6-C12-alkyl) - alkyl-1-thio-beta-D-glucopyranosides - MEGA-8, -9, -10 carbohydrates - D- and L-saccharides - allyl-, benzyl-, methyl-glycosides - protected sugars - amino and azido sugars - deoxy sugars - chiral building blocks glycopeptide building units - N-glycosyl-Asp for SPPS - O-glycosyl-Ser / Thr for SPPS glycosyl phosphates - alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-phosphates - alpha-D-galactopyranosyl-phosphates - alpha-D-mannopyranosyl-phosphates All our products are supplied with a certificate of analysis. Our certificate covers all necessary data for validation of identity and purity. This includes the following methods: NMR, FTIR, GC, GC-MS, AAS (metals), HPLC (UV, RI), TLC, optical rotation, m.p. etc.
