Dextran CLIO Magnetic Nanoparticles, 40 kDa

Dextran Size: 40 kDa
Volume (@ 5 mg/mL Fe): 10 mL

General Information:
Dextran coated CrossLinked Iron Oxide nanoparticles (CLIO-DEX) have 1-3 superparamagnetic Fe3O4 iron oxide cores (8-10 nm in diameter) imbedded within the matrix of dextran sugar strands of 40 kDa or 70 kDa size. Dextran strands are crosslinked to prevent their disassociation, ensuring long-term biological tability.

Features:
Highly biocompatible
Long term stable under physiological conditions
40 kDa and 70 kDa dextran coats are available
Highly magnetic
Non-toxic

Applications:
Labeling probes for phagocytic cells
Non-targeted controls for targeted CLIO nanoparticles
Probes for MRI
