Carboxymethyl Dextran sodium salt, Av MW 4k CAS 39422-83-8

Product Code: YC64857 Sodium carboxymethyl dextran (CM-dextran) is a white, odourless and tasteless powder which is freely soluble in water or electrolyte solutions. The product has a pronounced polyanionic character due to the high degree of carboxyl substitution. Applications that have been described for CM-dextran include carriers of paramagnetic contrast agents, preparation of conjugates of pharmacologically active compounds and CM-dextrans in biosensors. A number of other uses in cosmetics, agriculture, foods, paints and textiles have been the subject of patent applications.
