When dextran is used in a pharmaceutical product or medical device, it should always be of pharmaceutical quality.
Technical Quality Dextran is a high purity dextran fraction with selected average molecular weights and molecular weight distributions used as starting or intermediate reagents.
Dextran Ultra is a range of very narrow, dispersed Dextran fractions with polydispersity Mw/Mn below 1.5. This makes our Dextran Ultra highly suitable for characterization, complexing and other pharmaceutical/technical uses where added/increased/additional requirements with regard to narrow distributions and quality are required.
Our Standards comes with a complete set of specifications including; weight average molecular weight (Mw), number average molecular weight (Mn), and mean peak molecular weight (Mp)
Pharmacosmos offer Dextran derivatives with the same high standard and requirements to the highest quality as our world-leading Dextran products.
As a nontoxic and biocompatible polysaccharide, dextran is used widely in research and production in the pharmaceutical, biomedical, and life science industries.
Pharmacosmos offers a comprehensive suite of customisable services for Contract Development and Manufacturing Organisations (CDMOs) that optimise efficiency, reduce costs and speed up time to market.
From hydration and comfort to enhanced formulation stability, dextran plays a quiet but powerful role in today’s ophthalmic products.
