Blue dextran (MW 2,000,000) is a high-molecular-weight, water-soluble dextran conjugated to a blue chromophore used as an inert tracer and molecular-weight marker in laboratory research. Supplied as a blue powder, it is commonly used for column calibration, permeability and diffusion studies, and as a size-exclusion chromatography standard. Intended for research use only.
- High molecular weight (2,000,000 Da).
- Water-soluble blue powder.
- Useful as a void-volume marker and size-exclusion chromatography standard.
- Suitable for permeability, diffusion, and tracer studies.
- Degree of substitution typically around 0.10-0.12 mmol dye per gram of dextran.
- Supplied for research use only.
- Available in 500 mg and larger pack sizes.
