Alginic acid is suitable reagent used to study thein-vitroandin-vivomitogenic activity of alginates.It is suitable for use in the spectrophotometric determination of transparent exopolymer particles by dye-binding assay.

For R&D use onlynot for drug household or other uses.

Alginic acid also called algin or alginate is an anionic polysaccharide distributed widely in the cell walls of brown algae where through binding with water it forms a viscous gum. It is also a significant component of the biofilms produced by the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa the major pathogen in cystic fibrosis that confer it a high resistance to antibiotics and killing by macrophages.
