Applications

As a nontoxic and biocompatible polysaccharide, dextran is used widely in research and production in the pharmaceutical, biomedical, and life science industries.

Blood cell separation

Our high quality dextrans can be used in the process of separating red blood cells from other cells and components in blood.

Dextran for blood cell separation

Dextran can be applied in the reversible aggregation of human red blood cells, although the mechanics and details governing this process are still being explored.
Reversible aggregation is useful for separation of red blood cells from other cells and components in the blood.
