Product Description
Heparin sodium (CAS: 9041-08-1), also known as sodium heparin, is a glycosaminoglycan belonging to the mucopolysaccharide family, extracted mainly from porcine intestinal mucosa. It is a mixture of polysaccharide chains with different molecular weights, featuring potent anticoagulant properties. It is widely used in clinical research, diagnostic assay manufacturing, biochemical research and cell culture, and also serves as an important pharmaceutical raw material for treating thrombosis.
