Properties
Description
Sodium anhydroformyl hyaluronate with a molecular weight ranging from 50 to 200 kDa, is a modified form of hyaluronan.
Molecular Weight
50-200 kDa
Source
Sodium anhydroformyl hyaluronate is chemically modified sodium hyaluronate (SH). Modification was achieved by oxidation and dehydration processes.
Form
White to slightly yellow powder or granules
Solubility
It is soluble in water and forms a clear solution (up to 5.0 g/100 mL water for lower molecular weight material, a lower concentration for higher MW material). Soluble in alcohol-water mixture up to a concentration of 50% (v/v). Insoluble in aprotic solvents.
Applications
Sodium anhydroformyl hyaluronate with a molecular weight of 50-200 kDa can be used for the study of advanced drug delivery systems, particularly in the development of hydrogel-based carriers.
