Glycol chitosan
Glycol chitosan (CAS 123938-86-3) is a deacetylated derivative of glycol chitin. This polysaccharide exhibits the ability to increase membrane permeability and leakage in specific plant cells, such as Glycine max Harosoy 63w. It is supplied by Tech Serve Solutions for research and development purposes, often utilised in biochemical studies and as a laboratory reagent. Stored at -20°C, its typical assay is ≥60% via titration.
