D-(+)-Galactose

D-(+)-Galactose is a naturally occurring monosaccharide supplied as a white, crystalline, water-soluble powder. It is widely used in biochemical, microbiological, and cell culture research, particularly in studies of carbohydrate metabolism, glycoprotein synthesis, and enzymatic reactions involving galactose.

In laboratory applications, D-(+)-Galactose serves as a carbon source in microbial media, a substrate for enzymatic assays, and a reagent in metabolic or glycosylation studies. Its high purity and stability ensure reproducible results in experiments requiring precise sugar supplementation or analysis of carbohydrate-related pathways.
