This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Acros Organics product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Acros Organics product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.

General Description

  • Lactose is a disaccharide composed of glucose and galactose
  • Lactose is the major sugar found in dairy products such as milk and cheese
  • alpha-D-Lactose monohydrate is used as a carrier and stabilizer of products in the pharmaceutical and food industries

Applications

  • Lactose has been used in vitro to interact with carbohydrate recognition domains on a recombinant form of LGALS9, thus blocking downstream functions of the protein
  • It has been used as a control to study sugar dependency in Drosophila, which do not digest lactose
  • As a common component of pharmaceutical tablets, alpha-lactose has been used in laboratory settings to imitate drug administration
RUO – Research Use Only
