If you decide to place an order during this period, we reserve the right to adjust the price based on the evolving situation. We understand that market changes may cause inconvenience. We will negotiate with you if there’s a significant price fluctuation due to tariff policy changes before the order’s actual delivery, and in such cases we may adjust or cancel the order as necessary.

Application

α-D-Glucose is used:
  • As a reducing agent in the preparation superparamagnetic ferrous oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles[1] and silver nanocrystals.[2]
  • As an additive for the formation of isoporous polystyrene-block-poly(4-vinylpyridine) (PS-b-P4VP) diblock copolymer membranes.[3]
  • For glycosylation of cell-penetrating poly(disulfide)s (CPDs) with improved solubility to achieve multifunctional cellular uptake.[4]
  • As a precursor in the synthesis of metal/carbon nanohybrids under hydrothermal conditions.[5]
