What is D(+)- Galactose? Sometimes abbreviated Gal, is a monosaccharide sugar that is about as sweet as glucose, and about 65% as sweet as sucrose. It is an aldohexose and a C-4 epimer of glucose. A galactose molecule linked with a glucose molecule forms a lactose molecule.

Consistent Quality: We provide only high-quality D(+)- Galactose, ensuring reliable and consistent performance for all applications.

Shipped from Manchester, UK Facility: Sourced and packaged in non-toxic, chemical-resistant containers to ensure safe handling and preserve product quality during transport.

Frequent Uses

Microbial Culture Media
It is a common carbohydrate source used in bacterial and fungal growth media, particularly for cultivating organisms like lactobacilli, coliforms, Salmonella, and streptococci.

Liver Function Assessment
Galactose-based tests, such as the Gal elimination capacity test, are employed to evaluate liver health and assess the severity of liver disease.

Genetic Research
Whole-body galactose oxidation can be used as a functional biomarker to assess the expression and duration of gene therapy, particularly in gene-based therapies targeting the GALT gene.

Vaccines
Galactose is found in some vaccines and non-prescription products.
