General description

Blue dextran is a derivative of dextran and a high molecular weight glucose polymer.

Application

Blue Dextran has been used as a single-phase fluid dye in the mass flow capability of hollow microneedle (HMN). It has also been used as a standard in gel filtration chromatography.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Blue dextran is used in affinity chromatography, gel filtration chromatography, protein chromatography and molecular weight markers. Blue dextran has been used to study Alzheimer′s disease.

The membrane fraction of Gluconobacter oxydans IFO 3244, involving membrane-bound quinoprotein quinate dehydrogenase and 3-dehydroquinate dehydratase, was immobilized into Ca-alginate beads. The Ca-alginate-immobilized bacterial membrane catalyzed a sequential reaction of quinate oxidation to 3-dehydroquinate and its spontaneous conversion to 3-dehydroshikimate
