Chitosan (≥90% deacetylated, viscosity 650-700 mPa.s)

Chitosan (Deacetylated chitin) (≥90% deacetylated, viscosity 650-700 mPa.s) is a polysaccharide obtained by deacetylating chitin, and exhibits antimicrobial activity against various bacteria and fungi. Chitosan (≥90% deacetylated, viscosity 650-700 mPa.s) can be used as a versatile biomaterial in drug delivery, tissue engineering, and wound healing[1][2][3].
