D(+)- Trehalose dihydrate Cell Culture Tested Product Code: TC177 Please refer disclaimer overleaf Product Description : Molecular Weight: 378.33 Molecular Formula: C 12 H 22 O 11 ·2H 2 O CAS No.: 6138-23-4 Synonym: α,α-Trehalose, α-D-Glucopyranosyl-α-D- glucopyranoside Trehalose is a disaccharide composed of two glucose molecules bound by an alpha, alpha-1, 1 linkage. Since the reducing end of a glucosyl residue is connected with the other, trehalose has no reducing power. Trehalose is widely distributed in nature. It is known to be one of the sources of energy in most living organisms and can be found in many organisms, including bacteria, fungi, insects, plants, and invertebrates. In cell culture, trehalose is used as a cryoprotectant. Commonly employed cryoprotectant for mammalian and insect cells is DMSO, which has low molecular weight and penetrates the cells, protecting them at intracellular level. In contrast to DMSO, disaccharides such as trehalose have high molecular weight and do not penetrate the cells, protecting them at extracellular level. Trehalose is superior to other disaccharides like sucrose as a cryoprotectant. It interacts more strongly with water than does sucrose. Moreover, at the phospholipid bilayer of cell membranes trehalose is able to displace water molecules bound to carbonyls, but sucrose is not. Trehalose is stable, highly resistant to hydrolysis and chemically inert in its interaction with proteins. It has ability to stabilize phospholipids and proteins due to direct interaction between sugar and polar groups during freeze-drying or air-drying. It is majorly useful in cryopreservation of sperms, oocytes, platelets, macrophages and other blood cells, fibroblasts, retroviruses and most importantly embryonic stem cells. Studies on cryoprotection of fish ES cells have shown that when trehalose is used for cryopreservation of fish ES cells, pluripotency (undifferentiated state) of the cells is retained after recovery. This property would be highly useful for future in vitro differentiation and manipulation of ES cells. In addition to its usage in cryopreservation of cells, trehalose is also used in preservation of macromolecular assemblies such as bioactive proteins, antibodies, liposomes and enzymes. It protects enzymes from heat inactivation in vitro and reduces formation of protein aggregates. Trehalose is a non-reducing sugar and does not react chemically with amino acids or proteins during processing and storage. Owing to its unique chemical structure, trehalose remains stable under low pH conditions, even at elevated temperatures. Unlike other disaccharides, including sucrose, it does not readily hydrolyze to its component parts and subsequently take part in Maillard reactions with amino acids and proteins.

Trehalose is a disaccharide composed of two glucosemolecules bound by an alpha, alpha-1, 1 linkage. Sincethe reducing end of a glucosyl residue is connected withthe other, trehalose has no reducing power. Trehalose iswidely distributed in nature. It is known to be one ofthe sources of energy in most living organisms and canbe found in many organisms, including bacteria, fungi,insects, plants, and invertebrates.
In cell culture, trehalose is used as a cryoprotectant.Commonly employed cryoprotectant for mammalianand insect cells is DMSO, which has low molecularweight and penetrates the cells, protecting them atintracellular level. In contrast to DMSO, disaccharidessuch as trehalose have high molecular weight and do notpenetrate the cells, protecting them at extracellular level.
Trehalose is superior to other disaccharides like sucroseas a cryoprotectant. It interacts more strongly with waterthan does sucrose. Moreover, at the phospholipid bilayerof cell membranes trehalose is able to displace watermolecules bound to carbonyls, but sucrose is not.
Trehalose is stable, highly resistant to hydrolysis andchemically inert in its interaction with proteins. It hasability to stabilize phospholipids and proteins due todirect interaction between sugar and polar groups duringfreeze-drying or air-drying.
It is majorly useful in cryopreservation of sperms,oocytes, platelets, macrophages and other blood cells,fibroblasts, retroviruses and most importantly embryonicstem cells. Studies on cryoprotection of fish ES cells haveshown that when trehalose is used for cryopreservationof fish ES cells, pluripotency (undifferentiated state) ofthe cells is retained after recovery. This property wouldbe highly useful for future in vitro differentiation andmanipulation of ES cells.
In addition to its usage in cryopreservation of cells,trehalose is also used in preservation of macromolecularassemblies such as bioactive proteins, antibodies,liposomes and enzymes. It protects enzymes from heatinactivation in vitro and reduces formation of proteinaggregates.
