Description

Heparin CAS NO 9005-49-6 is a naturally occurring glycosaminoglycan and a critical anticoagulant agent. Its primary value lies in its potent ability to inhibit blood coagulation, making it indispensable in medical and pharmaceutical applications. This product is essential for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and diagnostic industries, particularly for producing injectable anticoagulants, medical device coatings, and research reagents.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Anticoagulants: Primary active ingredient in injectable heparin sodium and heparin calcium for the prevention and treatment of thrombosis and embolism.
• Medical Device Coatings: Used to create biocompatible, anti-thrombogenic surfaces on catheters, stents, blood oxygenators, and dialysis membranes.
• In Vitro Diagnostics: Key component in blood collection tubes (e.g., green-top vacutainers) to prevent sample clotting for clinical chemistry testing.
• Cell Culture & Research: Employed in cell biology research to prevent coagulation of media and to study cell surface interactions and growth factors.
• Biopharmaceutical Processing: Used in affinity chromatography for the purification of proteins and other biomolecules.
• Cosmeceuticals: Incorporated into topical formulations for its perceived anti-inflammatory and skin-rejuvenating properties.

Quality Control

Our Heparin is manufactured and tested under strict quality management systems. We offer grades compliant with major international pharmacopoeial standards, including USP (United States Pharmacopeia) and EP (European Pharmacopoeia). Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing for potency, purity, and safety parameters. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, impurity profile, and microbiological data is provided with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture. For long-term stability, storage at 2-8°C is recommended.
