Ultra Narrow

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.

Applications

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

Sustainability

Sustainability is at the heart of our production, and our efforts towards circularity include reducing our consumption and emissions as well as designing environmentally friendly products.

Reducing our carbon footprint in dextran production

• Reduced water consumption thanks to a cutting-edge integrated water system

• Reduced CO2 emissions thanks to the local sourcing and production of our main ingredient

• 50% of the power consumed at our manufacturing site is sourced from wind and solar energy

Taking part in a circular model

• Recycling production waste into animal feed and biogas

• All of our non-biodegradable waste is sorted before being shipped for recycling or incineration for energy production

Designing eco-friendly products

• No organic solvents are used in our production

• Utilizes green chemistry principles
