Description

Heparin Sodium is a highly sulfated glycosaminoglycan anticoagulant derived from porcine intestinal mucosa. Its primary commercial value lies in its potent ability to inhibit blood coagulation, making it a critical active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) for life-saving medications. This product is essential for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries, particularly for producing injectable anticoagulants and medical device coatings. Heparin Sodium CAS NO 9041-08-1 is supplied as a white to off-white powder, meeting stringent pharmacopeial standards for global supply.

Application

• Primary Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) in injectable anticoagulant drugs.
• Coating agent for medical devices such as catheters, stents, and extracorporeal circuits to prevent thrombosis.
• Key component in blood collection tubes and diagnostic reagents to prevent sample clotting.
• Used in cell culture and tissue engineering applications to modulate growth factor activity.
• Intermediate in the production of Low Molecular Weight Heparin (LMWH) derivatives.
• Research and development of novel antithrombotic and anti-inflammatory therapies.
