Properties
Description
CM-dextran, a product derived from the reaction of specific dextran fractions and an activated carboxymethyl derivative in an alkaline environment, comes in the form of a white powder that acts as a sodium salt and possesses a high solubility rate when placed in water. This substance's properties make it critical in various fields due to its water-soluble nature, reactivity, and its easy-to-handle powdered form. CM-dextran is a high-quality product with a molecular weight of 4,000-7,000 and carboxymethyl content of 3-7%.
