Dextran 40000 [9004-54-0]

Dextran 40000 [9004-54-0] is an established chemical intermediate, characterized by the molecular formula [C6H10O5]n and a molecular weight of N/A. This polysaccharide is a branched polymer of glucose units, commonly used as a carrier for drugs and proteins due to its high biocompatibility and low immunogenicity. It conforms to stringent quality standards, with a maximum nitrogen content of 110 parts per million (ppm), heavy metal content of 10 ppm, and sulphated ash of 0.3%. The solution appears clear and colourless, with a specific rotation ranging between +195° and +201°. This dextran variant has a relatively high molecular weight of approximately 40,000 g/mol, as indicated by its product name. It is supplied as a white powder, with a loss on drying of up to 7.0%, and it is stored ambiently. Additionally, it exhibits a reaction with phenolphthalein, sodium hydroxide (NaOH), and hydrochloric acid (HCl). The bacterial endotoxin count is less than 10 International Units (IU) per gram, while the total aerobic microbial.
