Alginic Acid Sodium Salt

Alginic Acid Sodium Salt (Sodium Alginate) is a naturally derived polysaccharide extracted from brown seaweed, supplied as a white to off-white powder that is water-soluble. It is widely used in biochemical, food, and pharmaceutical research for its gelling, thickening, and stabilizing properties.

In laboratory applications, sodium alginate serves as a matrix for cell immobilization, a stabilizer in solutions, and a reagent in microencapsulation and hydrogel formation studies. Its high purity and consistent viscosity make it suitable for reproducible results in experiments requiring reliable gel formation, biopolymer scaffolds, or controlled-release systems.
