Product Information

Molecular Formula:
[C7H15NO4]n
Molecular Weight:
60-120 kDa
Description
Chitosan is a deacetylated derivative of chitin. Chitosan is a polysaccharide present in the exoskeleton of a variety of crustaceans and cell walls of fungi. It can be used in the medical field and cosmetics manufacturing. In addition to its role in drug delivery, chitosan can also act as an adjuvant due to its immune-stimulating activity. Chitosan stimulates the immune system by activating the NLRP3 inflammasome, which produces potent IL-1b. When tested in an experimental model of vaccination, chitosan elicits a balanced Th1/Th2 response. Nutritional supplement in health care products.

The molarity calculator equation

Mass (g) = Concentration (mol/L) × Volume (L) × Molecular Weight (g/mol)

The dilution calculator equation

Concentration (start) × Volume (start) = Concentration (final) × Volume (final)

This equation is commonly abbreviated as: C1V1 = C2V2
