Abstract
In this paper we determine when Lusztig's $U_q(sl_n)'$ has all the desired properties necessary to define invariants of knots, links and 3-manifolds. Specifically, we determine when it is ribbon, unimodular and factorizable. We also compute the integrals and distinguished elements involved.
