Product Description

Galactose is a monosaccharide sugar. It is formed by the hydrolysis of lactose which is catalyzed by enzyme lactase and ẞ-galactosidase. Galactose exists in both open chain and cyclic form. It is a type of sugar which is less sweeter than glucose and not very soluble in water. Galactose, being carbohydrate acts as a major source of energy for cultured cells. Some studies indicate that use of sugar like galactose and fructose in culture medium can substantially reduce generation of lactate. Moreover, a significantly slower drop in the pH can be attained by replacing glucose with galactose in the medium which is crucial for cell lines propagated for diagnostic virology.
