Abstract

Galactosyl-6-[3H] glucosyl ceramide was prepared by the sequential action of galactose oxidase and sodium borohydride-[3H] reduction. A water-soluble radioactive contaiminant appeared after a 2 month storage at −4 C. This was identified as lactose-[3H] by both chromatographic and carrier dilution techniques.
