Description

Dextran Polyaldehyde MW 10,000

Dextran Polyaldehyde MW 10,000 is a high-purity, chemically modified polysaccharide derived from controlled oxidation of Dextran to introduce reactive aldehyde functional groups along the polymer backbone. With an average molecular weight of approximately 10,000 Da, it is widely used in pharmaceutical research, biomedical engineering, and advanced drug delivery applications requiring covalent crosslinking or biomolecule conjugation.
Dextran Polyaldehyde MW 10,000 appears as a white to off-white hygroscopic powder that is freely soluble in water, forming clear to slightly opalescent solutions. The presence of aldehyde groups enables efficient reaction with primary amines, allowing formation of Schiff base linkages under mild conditions.
In pharmaceutical, biomedical, and research applications, Dextran Polyaldehyde MW 10,000 is used in:
• Crosslinking of proteins, peptides, and polysaccharides
• Hydrogel and scaffold formation for tissue engineering
• Drug delivery systems requiring covalent polymer–drug conjugation
• Enzyme immobilization and biosensor development
• Surface modification of biomaterials and nanoparticles
• Research involving aldehyde-mediated bioconjugation chemistry
Dextran Polyaldehyde MW 10,000 provides controlled reactivity due to its defined molecular weight and degree of oxidation. This enables predictable crosslink density and mechanical properties in hydrogels, while maintaining biocompatibility associated with Dextran-based materials.
CarboMer supplies Dextran Polyaldehyde MW 10,000 with control over molecular weight distribution, aldehyde content, degree of oxidation, purity, 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, aldehyde content, loss on drying, and microbial limits. Technical support is available to assist with conjugation strategies, formulation design, and application-specific requirements.
As with all CarboMer supplied polysaccharide derivatives, Dextran Polyaldehyde MW 10,000 is supported by rigorous quality control, and expert technical guidance to ensure consistent and reliable performance in pharmaceutical and biomedical research.
