WHAT WE DO
Dextran Products has been producing Dextran Powders and Dextran Sulfate for over 40 years. Both Dextran Sulfate and Dextran Powders are high and low molecular weight Dextran polymers (polysaccharides) derived from the bacterium Leuconostoc Mesenteroides. Dextran Sulfate is a sulfate derivative of selected dextran fractions. Various molecular weight fractions of both Dextran Powders and Dextran sulfate are derived through various stages of hydrolysis and purification of Native Dextran. Both Dextran Powders and Dextran Sulfates can be used in a wide variety of industrial and Life Science applications.
