High-quality Lactose-based Material Development Service Win Clients' Trust

Based on an experienced team and well-established laboratory equipment, CD BioGlyco provides high-quality development services for Biodegradable Materials Based on Disaccharides. Lactose is a disaccharide composed of a glucose unit covalently bound to a galactose unit, which exists in the form of α- or β-heterodimers. It is rich in hydroxy functionality and ease of functionalization, making it attractive as a raw material for the preparation of hydrophilic materials. We provide a one-stop service for the development of lactose-based biodegradable materials including hydrogels.

• Preparation of lactose-based biodegradable material development

Hydrogel is a hydrophilic polymer network. Incorporation of carbohydrates such as lactose into the polymer structure is a viable strategy to introduce hydrophilicity. We prepare lactose-based hydrogels by chemical cross-linking (formed by covalent bonding connections between polymer chains) or physical cross-linking (electrostatic interactions, strong hydrogen bonding, van der Waals interactions, etc.). After determining the experimental scheme, by modifying lactose or mixing it with other polymers, we prepare lactose-based hydrogels by click chemistry, photopolymerization reaction, etc. In the process of preparation, we regulate the mechanical properties, water absorption, and rheology of the resulting hydrogels by changing the ratio of lactose, etc.

In addition, we develop biodegradable materials such as lactose-based films for food packaging and drug delivery.

• Analysis of lactose-based biodegradable materials

For specific biodegradable materials, we have a very comprehensive material analysis program. We analyze the chemical, biological, and physical properties of the material.

• Physical properties: Search engine marketing (SEM) analysis, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis, X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) analysis, etc.
• Chemical properties: Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analysis, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis, etc.
• Biological properties: Antimicrobial activity, biocompatibility, mechanical properties, biodegradability, etc.
