Application


  • Determining the protective effects of Ma-Mu-Ran Antidiarrheal Capsules against acute DSS-induced enteritis using 16S rRNA gene sequencing and fecal metabolomics.: This study explores the protective effects of Ma-Mu-Ran on acute enteritis, highlighting the role of microbial interactions facilitated by dextran sulfate sodium salt, potentially beneficial for biochemists focusing on gut microbiome dynamics (Zheng et al., 2022).

  • Immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties of artesunate in experimental colitis.: Examines the immunomodulatory effects of artesunate, potentially enhanced by adjuvants such as dextran sulfate sodium salt, pertinent to biochemists studying inflammation and immune responses (Yang et al., 2012).

  • Enantiomeric separation of drugs by affinity electrokinetic chromatography using dextran sulfate.: Investigates the application of dextran sulfate sodium salt in the chiral separation of pharmaceuticals, offering a technique of interest for biochemical analysis and drug development (Nishi et al., 1994).

Protocols

Dextran Sulfate

Dextran sulfates are supplied as the sodium salt forms, making them soluble and stable in water. Dextran sulfate contains approximately 17% sulfur which is equivalent to approximately 2.3 sulfate groups per glucosyl residue.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
