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.
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.
Form
White to slightly yellow powder or granules
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.
