Dextran T70 (MW 70,000)
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Dextran 70,000 is a high molecular weight polysaccharide formed by glucose linked by α-(1→6) glycosidic bonds. Dextran 70,000 can expand blood volume through colloidal osmotic pressure effect and inhibit cell adhesion and platelet aggregation through steric hindrance. At the same time, Dextran 70,000 can be used as a drug carrier to achieve targeted delivery through endocytosis. Dextran 70,000 is biologically inert and has low immunogenicity. It can be used for clinical blood volume expansion, anti-thrombotic research, and evaluation of vascular permeability in in vitro experiments. It can also be combined with fluorescent dyes for cell tracking and drug delivery research. The Dextran series of compounds are also natural polysaccharide drug carriers that can be connected to drugs through covalent bonding methods such as ester bonds, amide bonds or click chemistry, or self-assembled to form carriers such as nanoparticles and hydrogels. Dextran is biodegradable and biocompatible, and can achieve targeted delivery and controlled release of drugs. Dextran derivatives can prolong the half-life of drugs, increase local concentrations, and reduce the activity of immune clearance.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
Natural dextran is a polymer of glucose with a molecular weight of about 40 million; from it, relatively low molecular weight dextran can be prepared: high molecular weight (HMW) dextran, with a molecular weight of 70,000; low molecular weight (LMW) dextran, which is a mixture of glucose polymers with an average molecular weight of 40,000 (i.e. 10,000-70,000), in which the glycosidic bond is of α(1:6) type[3].

Solvent & Solubility
In Vitro:
H2O : 100 mg/mL (Need ultrasonic)
In Vivo:
Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL; Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

EdU Incorporation Assay (Click Chemistry-Based DNA Synthesis Measurement)
The EdU incorporation assay measures DNA synthesis by adding the thymidine analog 5-ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine to cells or tissues, where it is incorporated into newly synthesized DNA during S phase. Incorporated EdU is detected by copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition, in which a fluorescent azide covalently reacts with the ethynyl group on EdU, allowing S-phase cells to be detected by fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, or high-content imaging. EdU detection does not require DNA denaturation or anti-BrdU antibody access, which preserves sample structure and improves compatibility with immunostaining and multiparameter cytometry compared with BrdU-based detection. EdU can be cytotoxic in a cell-type- and exposure-dependent manner, so pulse duration, concentration, and continuous-labeling designs should be validated for each cell type.

Protocol for Pharmacokinetic Study
Pharmacokinetic studies quantify how an organism handles a drug over time through absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion, and the core experimental readout is the concentration-time profile of parent drug and, when relevant, metabolites in biological matrices such as plasma, whole blood, urine, bile, or tissue. Pharmacokinetic analysis links dose, route, exposure, clearance, half-life, distribution, bioavailability, and systemic exposure to drug efficacy and toxicity hypotheses rather than measuring a signaling pathway directly. The literature links pharmacokinetics to drug-development phenotypes by showing that drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics influence compound progression, exposure-response interpretation, safety margins, dosing strategy, and failure risk during discovery and development. DMPK science contributes to compound optimization by integrating physicochemical properties, in vitro metabolism, transporter behavior, in vivo exposure, and pharmacodynamic contex

Transepithelial/transendothelial electrical resistance assay
TEER measures electrical resistance across epithelial or endothelial monolayers cultured on permeable supports, and the readout reflects ionic conductance through the cell barrier, especially the paracellular pathway regulated by junctional integrity. TEER can be measured without destroying the monolayer and is commonly used before or during transport, permeability, barrier-disruption, and barrier-maturation experiments. TEER values are influenced by biological maturation and technical conditions; reported factors include temperature, medium formulation, passage number, electrode geometry, membrane properties, and junctional length during early monolayer maturation. Therefore, TEER should be interpreted with blank-insert subtraction, area normalization, repeated readings, and, when possible, orthogonal barrier readouts such as FITC-dextran flux or tight-junction staining.

Dye-dilution cell tracking and proliferation staining
Dye-dilution cell tracking assays quantify cell proliferation by covalently labeling intracellular proteins with a stable fluorescent dye that is equally partitioned between daughter cells during mitosis, resulting in stepwise halving of fluorescence intensity with each cell division as measured by flow cytometry histograms. Carboxyfluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester (CFSE) is a prototypical dye that diffuses into cells, is enzymatically converted into a fluorescent compound, and then covalently binds intracellular amine groups, producing long-lived fluorescence suitable for tracking multiple rounds of division in vitro and in vivo. Successive generations of dividing cells form discrete peaks of decreasing fluorescence intensity, enabling estimation of proliferation history, precursor frequency, and division index within heterogeneous populations. Alternative dyes such as CellTrace Violet (CTV) and far-red membrane dyes (e. g. , PKH26) follow the same dilution principle but differ
