Dextran, 250,000, Powder
Dive into the world of advanced medical solutions with our Dextran, 250,000, Powder. This complex branched glucan is synthesized by specific lactic acid bacteria when acted upon by sucrose. Renowned for its vital role in microsurgery, Dextran is instrumental in minimizing the risk of vascular thrombosis. Additionally, it serves as an effective osmotic agent, making it beneficial in treating hypovolemia.
In laboratory settings, Dextran plays a crucial role in the application of osmotic pressure to biological molecules and, when combined with fluorescent markers, is utilized to create concentration gradients of diffusible molecules. Its versatile applications make it an essential compound across both clinical and research environments.
