Dextran is a high-molecular-weight, water-soluble glucose polymer produced through microbial fermentation and widely used in pharmaceutical and biotechnology applications. Dextran consists predominantly of glucose units connected through α-(1→6) glycosidic linkages, with branching depending on the particular grade and manufacturing process. USP describes pharmaceutical Dextran grades as fermentation-derived polysaccharides produced by appropriate strains of Leuconostoc mesenteroides.
Swapnroop Pharma offers Dextran for pharmaceutical and formulation applications, with product selection based on molecular-weight grade, applicable pharmacopoeial requirements and customer specifications.
Dextran is available in different molecular-weight grades, including Dextran 40 and Dextran 70, which are important pharmaceutical grades with defined molecular-weight ranges. Pharmaceutical-quality Dextran 40 is commercially available to pharmacopoeial specifications including USP, Ph. Eur. and JP.
Dextran is a polysaccharide with useful physicochemical properties such as water solubility, film-forming capability and molecular-weight-dependent rheological behavior.
Depending on its grade and intended use, Dextran can function as:
Dextran 40 and Dextran 70 are particularly important pharmaceutical grades. USP identifies Dextran 40 with a molecular-weight range of 35,000–45,000, while Dextran 70 has a range of 63,000–77,000.
Dextran is a microbial polysaccharide consisting primarily of glucose units. Its properties depend strongly on:
The commonly referenced chemical identity for Dextran is associated with CAS No. 9004-54-0. Commercial pharmaceutical Dextran 40 and Dextran 70 products are listed with this CAS number.
Dextran 40 is a lower-molecular-weight pharmaceutical Dextran grade. According to USP, its weight-average molecular weight is 35,000–45,000.
Pharmaceutical-quality Dextran 40 can be supplied to applicable USP, Ph. Eur. and JP requirements depending on the product grade.
Dextran 70 is a higher-molecular-weight pharmaceutical Dextran grade. USP defines its weight-average molecular weight as 63,000–77,000.
Dextran 70 is used in pharmaceutical applications where its molecular-weight characteristics and physicochemical properties are important.
Dextran can be used in pharmaceutical and biotechnology applications depending on its grade and specification.
Applications may include:
Dextran 40 is also used in pharmaceutical preparations such as Dextran 40 in Dextrose Injection, for which USP specifies the composition of the finished injection.
Dextran supplied for pharmaceutical manufacturing should be selected according to the required molecular-weight grade, pharmacopoeial standard and intended application.
Important quality characteristics can include:
For pharmaceutical manufacturing, the applicable grade-specific specification and Certificate of Analysis (CoA) should be used as the final quality reference.
Swapnroop Pharma provides Dextran for pharmaceutical and formulation applications, supporting customers looking for a Dextran manufacturer and supplier in India.
Dextran can be supplied according to the required molecular-weight grade and applicable quality specification. For customers requiring specific pharmaceutical grades such as Dextran 40 or Dextran 70, product documentation and quality requirements can be aligned with the applicable specification.
As a Dextran supplier in India, Swapnroop Pharma supports pharmaceutical manufacturers, formulation companies, research organizations and other industrial customers requiring Dextran for approved applications.
Supply can be evaluated according to:
Dextran manufacturing involves controlled production and purification of microbial polysaccharides followed by processing to achieve the desired molecular-weight and quality characteristics.
For bulk pharmaceutical supply, consistency in:
is important.
Swapnroop Pharma can position Dextran for bulk pharmaceutical manufacturing and formulation requirements in India and international markets, subject to the applicable product grade and commercial specifications.
Dextran should be stored in suitable, tightly closed packaging under recommended environmental conditions and protected from excessive moisture and contamination.
Packaging may be selected according to quantity and customer requirements, including suitable pharmaceutical-grade containers and bulk packaging.
Exact storage conditions should follow the applicable product specification and CoA.
Depending on the product grade and customer requirement, documentation may include:
Swapnroop Pharma focuses on supplying pharmaceutical-grade ingredients and excipients for formulation and manufacturing applications.
Key advantages include:
For specific applications, customers should identify the required Dextran molecular-weight grade, such as Dextran 40 or Dextran 70, before commercial specification and documentation are finalized.
