Biochem/physiol Actions

The use of dextran-coated charcoal makes the immunoassay of insulin in biological fluids simpler and more rapid. In

theory, the charcoal coated with dextran will adsorb the free hormone and leave hormones that are bound to a carrier

(or antibody). Dextran coated charcoal is used to strip hormones from serum instead of charcoal alone, because there

is less loss of protein using dextran coated charcoal.[2][3]

General description Charcoal, Dextran Coated is made from acid washed charcoal powder and dextran, molecular weight 64-76kDa, combined

in a 10:1 (w/w) ratio.
