Description

Amino Dextran

Amino Dextran is a high-purity, chemically modified polysaccharide derived from Dextran in which primary amine functional groups are introduced along the polymer backbone. This modification imparts reactive sites for covalent coupling, making Amino Dextran a versatile material for pharmaceutical research, biomedical engineering, and advanced bioconjugation applications.
Amino Dextran appears as a white to off-white hygroscopic powder that is freely soluble in water, forming clear to slightly opalescent solutions. The presence of amino groups enables efficient conjugation with activated carboxyl, aldehyde, and other electrophilic groups under mild aqueous conditions.
In pharmaceutical, biomedical, and research applications, Amino Dextran is used in:
• Covalent conjugation of drugs, proteins, peptides, and imaging agents
• Drug delivery systems and polymer–drug conjugates
• Surface modification of nanoparticles and biomaterials
• Hydrogel and scaffold formation for tissue engineering
• Enzyme immobilization and biosensor development
• Research involving polymer functionalization and bioconjugation chemistry
Amino Dextran retains the biocompatibility and hydrophilicity of native Dextran while providing enhanced chemical reactivity through its amine functionalities. This combination allows precise control over conjugation density, molecular architecture, and biological interaction in advanced formulation systems.
CarboMer supplies Amino Dextran with details of molecular weight distribution, degree of amination, purity, moisture content, and microbial quality. The material is suitable for regulated pharmaceutical research and advanced biomedical applications.
The material is packaged in sealed, moisture-resistant, tamper-evident containers. Available in laboratory and pilot-scale quantities. Documentation includes Certificate of Analysis (CoA), Safety Data Sheet (SDS), and complete traceability.
Each batch is tested for identity (IR), molecular weight profile, amine content, loss on drying, and microbial limits. Technical support is available to assist with conjugation strategies, formulation design, and application-specific requirements.
