Description
This chitosan’s source material is from the Crustacean shells Sources, specifically from Snow Crab (Chionoecetes opilio).
Chitosan forms gels with multivalent anions and clear solutions that dry to strong, clear films. Its ideal for scaffolds, cell therapy, drug delivery, and biomedical applications.
Its a natural biopolmer that’s biocompatible, biodegradable, antibacterial, an adhesive to tissue, and can be used in a variety of applications, e.g.,
- Biomedical devices
- Drug delivery facilitator
- Wound-healing
- Micro and Nanoparticle encapsulation for controlled release in drug delivery and other therapeutics
- Scaffolding tissue engineering and regeneration
- Pharmaceutical excipient
- Cosmetics
- Anti-microbial, fertilizer and growth elicitor for plants
- Food preservation
- Dietary supplement
