Pharmacosmos' dextran products do not contain any materials of human or animal origin nor any animal derived additives.

Due to a large number of requests for free samples, we are forced to refrain from handing out free samples as a general policy. However, Pharmacosmos does make exceptions to this rule in cases of interest to the dextran society in general or for highly relevant scientifically or commercial projects.

Yes, Pharmacosmos' dextrans are free from BSE and TSE. No materials used in the manufacturing processes of our dextrans are susceptible to TSE (ref. European Commission Decision 97/534/EC, Ph. Eur. chapter 5.2. transmitting animal spongiform encephalopathy agents via medicinal products and the related general monograph no. 1483, EMEA/410/01 rev.2 and Resolution AP-CSP (99) 4). Note that some other dextran producers include animal components in the form of milk-based culture components in their production of dextran. 

According to Article 2(9) of the Regulation (EC) No.1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006, dextrans are polymers of glucose and, therefore, exempt from the obligation to register. Furthermore, the monomer of Dextran products (glucose) does not have to be registered as glucose is exempt from the obligation to register in accordance with Article 2(7)(a).

Additionally, clinical grade Dextrans used as API in human or veterinary medicinal products or used as additives in food or feeding stuff are exempt from registration according to Article 2(5)(a) and Article 2(5)(b) respectively.

Pharmaceutical Quality Dextran is of the highest quality and suitable for applications for human or veterinarian use. When dextran is used in a pharmaceutical product or medical device, we recommend a Pharmaceutical Quality Dextran. Pharmaceutical Quality and Technical Quality differ in the analytical package, specification, documentation support and availability of quality services.

Yes. Pharmacosmos has highly developed manufacturing facilities for the separation, purification and characterisation of dextran fractions. We are specialised in the development of customised dextran fractions with respect to molecular weight distribution and purity profile. 

When GE Healthcare stopped offering dextran (2003) they recommended their customers to shift to dextran from Pharmacosmos. Pharmacosmos is the world’s leading manufacturer of dextran and is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and certified by the European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines (EDQM).
