Trehalose powder is a disaccharide that can form a special protective film on the surface of cells under severe conditions such as high temperature, high cold, dryness and dehydration, effectively protecting the structure of biomolecules from being destroyed, thereby maintaining the life of the living body. Process and biological characteristics. The trehalose we provide is trehalose hydrate, with molecular formula C12H22O11 • 2H2O, purity ≥99%, and low metal ion content, which can be used in molecular biology experiments.

Functions

Trehalose powder has high water retention capabilities, and is used in food and cosmetics. The sugar is thought to form a gel phase ascells dehydrate, which prevents disruption of internal cell organelles, by effectively splinting them in position. Rehydration then allows normal cellular activity to be resumed without the major, lethal damage that would normally follow a dehydration/rehydration cycle.

Trehalose has the added advantage of being an antioxidant. Extracting trehalose used to be a difficult and costly process. Trehalose is currently being used for a broad spectrum of applications.

Application

1. As an enzyme stabilizer, maintain enzyme activity and enzyme activity after thermal activation.

2. Trehalose powder can be used in DNA sequencing reaction experiments to improve the accuracy of sequencing with repeated sequences (multiple consecutive A or T).

3. PCR amplification of complex templates, such as samples with high GC content.

4. It is suitable for the reverse transcription reaction of longer cDNA, especially for the synthesis of full-length cDNA, to improve the coverage of library establishment.

5. Preservative for trace DNA samples.

6. qRT-PCR reaction system additives to improve reaction performance.

Cosmetics Industry

Trehalose can effectively protect the epidermis cell, effective against skin aging, gently moisturize skin, make the skin luster, bright, tender, smooth, naturally healthy and elasticity. Trehalose, as a new generation of super moisturizing will become a focus in the cosmetics consumption.
