Trehalose SG (For Injection)

High-purity trehalose with low endotoxin for sensitive biopharmaceutical applications.
Ideal stabilizer for antibodies, proteins, and vaccines in injectable formulations.

Low-Endotoxin Trehalose for Stabilizing Biopharmaceuticals

Trehalose SG is a highly purified, low-endotoxin form of trehalose – a non-reducing disaccharide composed of two glucose molecules linked by an α,α–1,1 glycosidic bond. It appears as a white dihydrous crystalline powder, is highly soluble in water, and exhibits excellent heat resistance.

Its non-reactive nature prevents participation in the Maillard reaction, thereby avoiding the formation of unwanted colors, odors, and flavors during processing. With a high glass-transition temperature (~120 °C), Trehalose SG remains stable under high heat and acidic conditions, making it an effective stabilizer for biomaterials sensitive to environmental changes.

NAGASE supplies Trehalose SG globally for pharmaceutical, diagnostic, and biotechnology use, with full technical support and international logistics capabilities.
