Immobilised D-Galactose is designed for the rapid purification of lectins, galactosidases and other galactose-binding molecules. The resin is ideal for the purification of agglutinins, lectins, toxins, glactose-binding, N-acetylgalactosaminebinding or carbohydrate binding molecules. Specific applications include the purification of galactosidases, C‐type lectins, enterotoxins and cholera toxin.

The resin consists of 6% beaded agarose that is covalently coupled to thio‐α‐D‐galactose and has a binding capacity of >20 mg jacalin/ml settled resin.
