Real-World Uses

This article explores how dextran is used in cryopreservation, its mechanism of action, and how newer dextran-based formulations are shaping the next generation of cryoprotective strategies.

From hydration and comfort to enhanced formulation stability, dextran plays a quiet but powerful role in today’s ophthalmic products.

Discover how dextran is redefining hydrogel innovation.
A new study from Aalborg University shows how Pharmacosmos dextran enables the development of safer, photoinitiator-free, and tunable hydrogels — paving the way for breakthroughs in tissue engineering, 3D bioprinting, and drug delivery.
