Dextran in Diagnostics and in Research
Dextran can be used as a versatile reagent in diagnostic, analytical, and research workflows. Its hydrophilic and biocompatible polysaccharide structure makes it suitable as a crowding agent, coating material, stabilizer, or matrix component.
In research and assay systems, dextran can help create defined hydrophilic environments, support surface or particle coating, and contribute to matrix formation. is particularly suitable when good solubility, low viscosity, and a defined low-molecular-weight profile are required.
Primogene’s narrow and well-defined Dextran 5 provides controlled molecular-weight distribution and low PDI, supporting reproducible performance in diagnostic and laboratory applications.
