Produktinformation

• Name: Sodium polyanetholesulfonate
• Synonyme: Polyanetholesulfonic acid sodium salt
• Marke: Biosynth
• Beschreibung: A compound originally developed as an anticoagulant, but possessing anticomplement action and lowering the bactericidal action of blood. It is used in vitro to inhibit blood coagulation and as a diagnostic reagent to encourage the growth of pathogens in the blood. It is also used to stabilize colloidal solutions, such, as milk and gelatin. The anticoagulant sodium polyanetholesulfonate (SPS) is used as a routine supplement to blood culture media to enhance recovery of microorganisms. Anticoagulation has a desired effect because certain bacteria do not survive well within the clot where phagocytosis by neutrophils and macrophages remains active. However, it inhibits the growth of Peptostreptococcus anaerobius, Neisseriameningitidis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and Streptobacillusmoniliformis. It is utilized as a diagnostic tool for Gardnerellavaginalis; it is also known as liquoid.
