Description

• Ranges in size from 10,000 to 150,000 Kd.
• Depending upon its molecular weight it has different uses in different fields.
• Use of dextrans as long and hydrophilic spacer arms improves the performance of immobilized proteins acting on macromolecules.
• Dextrans are used in many applications as platelet aggregants, plasma volume extenders, osmotic pressure regulators, stabilizers, organ separation media, matrix components, copolymers, microcarriers, binding agents, viscosity modifiers, antithrombotics, lubricants and physical structure components.
• They may be used as long hydrophilic spacer arms to improve the performance (freedom of movement) of conjugated/bound proteins.
• Dextrans may be derivatized for use in biosensor systems.
• Research Use Only (RUO). Ready for CE IVD labeling of clinical applications.
