Polysaccharides
Polysaccharides are organic compounds formed by the union of multiple monomers, which are joined together by glycosidic bonds to create large and often branched molecules. These complex carbohydrates play crucial roles in various biological functions, including energy storage, structural support, and cell-cell communication. In this section, you will find a diverse range of polysaccharides essential for research in biochemistry, molecular biology, and glycoscience. These compounds are vital for studying metabolic pathways, cell wall structures, and the therapeutic potential of carbohydrates. At CymitQuimica, we provide high-quality polysaccharides to support your scientific research, ensuring precision and reliability in your experimental outcomes.

Cellulose, particle size 20μm
CAS:Cellulose with a particle size of 20μm is an industrial biomass material that has various applications. It is commonly used in the production of paper, textiles, and biofuels. Cellulose is a complex carbohydrate that provides structural support to plant cell walls. It can also be used as an excipient in pharmaceutical formulations, such as in the production of tablets.Purity:Min. 95%Color and Shape:PowderWheat starch
CAS:Starch is an energy storing polysaccharide produced by higher plants and some algae. Pure starch is a white, tasteless and odorless powder that is insoluble in cold water or alcohol. It consists of two types of polysaccharide: the linear and helical amylose (α-1,4-linked glucose) and the branched amylopectin (α-1,4 and α-1,6-linked glucose). Depending on the plant, starch generally contains 20 to 25% amylose and 75 to 80% amylopectin by weight.Purity:Min. 95%Color and Shape:PowderDextran sulfate sodium - MW 5,000-8,000
CAS:Dextran sulphate is a dextran derivative whose ulcer (colitis) -causing properties were first reported in hamsters and extrapolated a few years later to mice and rats. The exact mechanisms through which dextran sulphate induces intestinal inflammation are unclear but may be the result of direct damage of the monolayer of epithelial cells in the colon, leading to the crossing of intestinal contents (for e.g. commensal bacteria and their products) into underlying tissue and therefore induction of inflammation. The dextran sulphate sodium induced ulceration model in laboratory animals has some advantages, when compared to other animal models of colitis, due to its simplicity and similarities to human inflammatory bowel disease.Formula:(C6H7Na3O14S3)nPurity:Min. 95%Color and Shape:PowderChondroitin sulfate A sodium salt - Average MW 10,000 - 50,000
CAS:Chondroitin sulfate A sodium salt is a glycosaminoglycan that is derived from chondroitin. It is a complex carbohydrate with a high molecular weight and an average MW of 10,000 to 50,000 Da. The synthesis of the monosaccharide units in chondroitin sulfate A sodium salt occurs by Methylation, Click modification, Polysaccharide, or Fluorination. Chondroitin sulfate A sodium salt can be custom synthesized according to customer specifications and can be ordered as a CAS No. 39455-18-0 with high purity.Purity:Min. 95%Color and Shape:White Off-White PowderHydroxypropyl cellulose - Average MW 80,000
CAS:In water, hydroxypropyl cellulose forms liquid crystals with many mesophases depending on concentration. These mesophases include isotropic, anisotropic, nematic and cholesteric, the latter resulting in many colors such as violet, green and red. Pharmaceutical applications include treatments for medical conditions such as dry eye syndrome (keratoconjunctivitis sicca), recurrent corneal erosions, decreased corneal sensitivity, exposure and neuroparalytic keratitis. It is also used as a binder in tablets. Hydroxypropylcellulose is also used as a thickener, a binder and emulsion stabiliser in foods with E number E463. HPC is used as a support matrix for DNA separations by capillary and microchip electrophoresis.Purity:Min. 95%Glycogen - from oyster for molecular biology
CAS:Glycogen is a highly branched polysaccharide of glucose that serves as a form of energy storage in animals and fungi. It is the main storage form of glucose in the body. In humans, glycogen is made and stored primarily in liver and muscle cells and functions as the second most important energy storage molecule to fat which is held in adipose tissue. Glycogen is analogous to starch and has a structure similar to amylopectin, but is more extensively branched and compact than starch. It occurs as granules in the cytosol/cytoplasm in many cell types, and plays an important role in the glucose cycle.
