General Description

• Dextran is a complex branched polysaccharide of bacterial origin
• It primarily contains alpha-D C-1 – C-6 glycosidic linkages
• Alternate linkages account for the complex branching of dextran

Application

• Some research suggests that dextran can be used a carrier that helps target delivery of compounds to specific cells
• It is intended for protein isolation and centrifugation protocols, as well as other research applications
