Description

Description

Dextran is used in a bead form to aid in bioreactor applications, some size-exclusion chromatography matrices and in osmotic stress technique study involved in biological molecules. It can be used as a stabilizing coating to protect metal nanoparticles from oxidation.

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.

General Description

  • Dextran is a glucose polymer biosynthesized by the non-pathogenic Leuconostoc mesenteroides

Application

  • Dextran is a complex branched glucan that can be used to enhance electronegativity and reduce erythrocyte aggregation and platelet adhesiveness (anticoagulant activity)
  • This compound promotes the activation of plasminogen by inhibiting α-2 antiplasmin
  • Dextran can be used to reduce thrombosis in animal models
  • It is used in osmotic stress techniques where osmotic pressure is applied to biological molecules
  • Dextran can be used as an immobilization agent in biosensors
