Trehalose
Trehalose is a non-reducing disaccharide consisting of two glucose molecules linked by an α, α–1,1 bond. Pfanstiehl Brand, High Purity Low Endotoxin Trehalose is used in the biopharmaceutical industry to stabilize proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates throughout the formulation and freeze/thaw life cycle of therapeutics. It is also widely applied as a key component in cryopreservation/freeze media to stabilize cell membranes and improve the recovery and robustness of cells used for bioproduction and cell therapy.
The stabilizing benefits of trehalose include but are not limited to:
• Monoclonal Antibodies (mAbs)
• Fusion Proteins
• Antibody Fragments (fAbs)
• Peptides
• Stem cells
• Vaccines
