DL-Arabinose is used in physicochemical studies to measure properties such as dielectric relaxation. It may be used in chiral separation of sugars. DL-Arabinose, is a building block of polysaccharide (CCPa-1) from fungus Coprinus comatus Gray, which has potential application as natural antitumor agent with immunomodulatory activity. Arabinose is also used as a culture medium for certain bacteria.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
