Description

Chitosan, CAS # 9012-76-4, is a polymer derived from chitin. It is used in the laboratory research of medical material and biomedicine due to its demonstrated bactericidal, antibacterial, anticancer, and antiviral effects. | CAS: 9012-76-4 | C56H103N9O39 | 1526.464 g/mol

Chitosan is widely utilized in biomedical applications. It finds applications in plantations as natural seed treatment and a growth enhancer. It serves as a fining agent in winemaking and also prevents spoilage. It is involved in the field of medicine to reduce bleeding and as an antibacterial agent. It is used in self-healing coatings which are applied in industrial applications. It is also employed as a part of a filtration process to remove phosphorus, heavy minerals and oils from water.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
