TRITC-dextran (70 kDa) is a fluorescent derivative of a dextran fraction with an average molecular weight of approximately 70000. TRITC dextrans are prepared from special dextran fractions by coupling to tetramethylrhodamine B isothiocyanate (mixed isomers). TRITC-dextrans are supplied as a pink powder which is readily soluble in water. TRITC-dextran is mainly used for studying permeability and microcirculation. It can also be used as a molecular size marker, for studies of drug delivery and more.
Molecular Weight | 70000 |
Solubility (25°C) | Soluble in water |
Storage | 4°C, dry, sealed |
Species | Mouse | Rat | Rabbit | Guinea pig | Hamster | Dog |
Weight (kg) | 0.02 | 0.15 | 1.8 | 0.4 | 0.08 | 10 |
Body Surface Area (m2) | 0.007 | 0.025 | 0.15 | 0.05 | 0.02 | 0.5 |
Km factor | 3 | 6 | 12 | 8 | 5 | 20 |
Animal A (mg/kg) = Animal B (mg/kg) multiplied by | Animal B Km |
Animal A Km |
For example, to modify the dose of Compound A used for a mouse (20 mg/kg) to a dose based on the BSA for a rat, multiply 20 mg/kg by the Km factor for a mouse and then divide by the Km factor for a rat. This calculation results in a rat equivalent dose for Compound A of 10 mg/kg.
