1. Normally it is coated in carboxymethyl dextran or similar compound. 2. He helped to develop bacterial polyglucose dextran as a blood plasma substitute. 3. The product Macrodex, a dextran solution, was launched four years later. 4. An uncommon but significant complication of dextran osmotic effect is acute renal failure. 5. The polymer dextran is one prominent example of a highly used sugar chain. 6. Dextranase hydrolyses alpha-1, 6-glycosidic bonds in dextran polymers. 7. It consists of dextran polymer chains cross-linked into a three-dimensional network. 8. Flodin worked with dextran research at Pharmacia. 9. A vivid characterization is to measure the rejection of dextran blue or other colored molecules. 10. Dextran -based products were to play a significant role in the further expansion of Pharmacia.
