At BOC Sciences, we provide professional O-glycan synthesis services that deliver structurally defined, high-purity glycans tailored to your research and development needs. With expertise in custom design, glycan libraries, isotope labeling, and conjugation, our team ensures precise control over glycan structures that cannot be achieved through natural extraction. By integrating state-of-the-art glycoengineering platforms and advanced analytical validation (MS, NMR, HPLC), we support applications ranging from biomedical research and diagnostics to biopharma and vaccine development. Whether you require standard core O-glycans or complex customized structures at research or preclinical scale, we provide reliable solutions that accelerate discovery and innovation.
O-glycans are key components of many glycoproteins and function in various physiological processes, including protein folding and quality control, cell signaling, immune modulation and disease progression. The diverse and complex nature of O-glycans makes it challenging to isolate from natural sources with sufficient yield and homogeneity. Our customized O-glycan synthesis service can address many common issues, including:
Natural complexity - isolation from natural sources often has many impurities and batch-to-batch variations
Structural control - difficulty in obtaining desired structures for more targeted glycan chain designs, tailored for specific biological or therapeutic functions
Speed - isolation from natural sources is often time consuming; our approach allows you to quickly access defined O-glycans
Scalability - we can scale up the synthesis of defined glycans from milligram level for research use to gram scale for preclinical use
