## Long description

## Overview

Sussex Research Laboratories Inc. is a specialized contract research and manufacturing organization focused on glycoscience—the study of carbohydrates (glycans) and their roles in biological processes. The company serves as a global leader in carbohydrate synthesis, offering both custom synthesis services and an extensive portfolio of pre-made glycan-based products.

## Core Services

**Glycan Synthesis & Development**
- Scalable, cost-effective synthesis of simple modified monosaccharides (e.g., GalNAc targeting ligands) to complex oligosaccharides (e.g., Sialyl Lewis X)
- Expertise in hepatic (GalNAc) and extra-hepatic drug delivery strategies
- Support for oligonucleotide, protein, lipid, and small-molecule-based applications

**Glycopeptides & Peptides**
- Over 20 years of leadership in glycopeptide synthesis
- Synthetic tumor-associated carbohydrate antigens (TACA) based on mucins, PSGL-1 mimetics, and glycopolypeptides
- World's largest inventory of well-defined glycoamino acid building blocks
- Expertise in glycated (fructosylated), glycolipid, lipid, and macrocyclic peptides

**Antibody Development**
- Carbohydrate-based antigen production for antibody screening and generation
- Glycan, glycopeptide, and glycolipid antigens with BSA, OVA, CRM, or KLH carrier protein conjugates

**Targeting Ligands**
- Cell-specific carbohydrate ligands (GalNAc, sialic acid-containing glycans) targeting lectin/carbohydrate-mediated drug delivery
- Receptor targeting: ASGPR, Galectins, Siglecs, Mannose-6-phosphate Receptor, Influenza HAs, Mannose Receptor (CD206)
- Applications in RNA and difficult therapeutic molecule delivery to specific tissues

**Preclinical & GMP Manufacturing Support**
- Connection to trusted network for pre-clinical and GMP manufacturing scale-up
- Transition support from development to large-scale production

## Quality & Compliance

- ISO 9001:2015 certified
- Rigorous quality control protocols throughout synthesis
- Certificate of Analysis and analytical data documentation provided

## Market Position

- Over 1,000 clients worldwide
- Over 25 years of industry experience
- Made in Canada with international recognition
- Expertise honed over decades in glycoscience research
