Dextran Sulfate Sodium Salt MW ~40,000 (CAS 9011-18-1)

Dextran Sulfate Sodium Salt with a molecular weight of approximately 40,000 is extensively used in scientific research, particularly in the study of macromolecular interactions and the simulation of biological environments. In biochemistry, it is often employed as an anticoagulant in studies that require the prevention of blood clotting during in vitro experiments. Its high molecular weight and negative charge due to the sulfate groups allow it to mimic the properties of certain biological macromolecules, making it useful in studying the behavior of proteins and enzymes under various conditions. Dextran Sulfate Sodium Salt MW ~40,000 is also applied in the field of molecular biology as a component in the creation of gradients for the separation of cells, viruses, or subcellular organelles by density gradient centrifugation. Furthermore, its role in the preparation of charged layers on surfaces is of interest in the development of biosensors and in the study of cell adhesion processes.
