Description

Hirudin is a potent and specific natural thrombin inhibitor, a critical anticoagulant protein originally derived from the salivary glands of medicinal leeches. Its precise mechanism of action makes it invaluable for research and development in life sciences and advanced therapeutic applications. This high-purity compound is essential for pharmaceutical R&D, clinical diagnostics, and biochemical studies targeting hemostasis and thrombosis. We supply Hirudin CAS NO 8001-27-2 to global partners with a commitment to consistent quality and reliable supply chain integrity.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research & Development: As a reference standard and active ingredient in the development of novel anticoagulant and antithrombotic therapies.
• Clinical Diagnostics: Used as a key reagent in coagulation assays and test kits to measure thrombin activity and other clotting factors.
• Biochemical Research: A fundamental tool for studying the mechanisms of blood coagulation, platelet aggregation, and serine protease inhibition.
• Medical Device Coating: Applied to biomaterials and medical devices (e.g., stents, catheters) to create thromboresistant surfaces and improve biocompatibility.
• Standard for Quality Control: Serves as a purity standard for calibrating equipment and validating methods in quality control laboratories.
