Description

Heparin CAS NO 91449-79-5 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 for preventing and treating thrombotic disorders. This product is essential for the pharmaceutical industry, specifically for manufacturers of injectable anticoagulants, medical device coatings, and in vitro diagnostic reagents.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Anticoagulant Production: Primary active ingredient in injectable heparin sodium and heparin calcium formulations for the prevention and treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE).
• Medical Device Coatings: Applied to catheters, stents, and extracorporeal circuits (e.g., dialysis machines, heart-lung bypass machines) to create a thromboresistant, biocompatible surface.
• In-Vitro Diagnostics (IVD): Used as a key component in blood collection tubes (heparin tubes) to prevent clotting and in various coagulation assay kits and reagents.
• Research & Cell Culture: Employed in biochemical and pharmacological research on coagulation pathways and as an anticoagulant in cell culture media for primary cell isolation.
• Topical Formulations: Incorporated into creams and gels for the localized treatment of superficial thrombophlebitis and to reduce bruising.
