Description

General description

Heparin Sodium is a mixture of sulfated glycosaminoglycans in the form of sodium salt. It is composed of heterogeneous molecules with different molecular weights, collectively exhibiting multiple activities that affect various factors involved in the blood clotting process. This substance naturally occurs in mammalian tissues and is typically derived from sources such as the intestinal mucosa or other applicable tissues obtained from domestic mammals commonly consumed as food by humans. Heparin Sodium Molecular Weight Calibrant USP reference standard is provided as delivered and specified by the issuing Pharmacopoeia. All information provided in support of this product, including MSDS and any product information leaflets have been developed and issued under the Authority of the issuing Pharmacopoeia.
