General description
Gelrite, gellan gum, is recommended as a gelling agent for use in place of agar in microbiological assay and tissue culture media. Gellan gum is used in a wide variety of immobilization matrices. It forms a hard gel at low concentrations in the presence of an electrolyte. Gellan is a linear tetrasaccharide composed of D-glucose, L-rhamnose, and D-glucuronic acid in the ratio of 2:1:1, linked by β (1 → 4) glycosidic bond.

Buonasera, sarebbe possibile sapere il grado di purezza del Gelzan? visto che nel Gelzan ci sarebbero sali o altri componenti, quanto è la concentrazione del Gellan Gum nel Gelzan? Rimango in attesa di un vostro riscontro.
1 answer-
The purity of this gelling agent is not determined. This material is a complex polysaccharide comprised of glucose, rhamnose, and glucuronic acid in the approximate molar ratio of 2:1:1. In addition to the base components, historical ICP analysis shows trace amounts of Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium, Phosphate, and Sodium. The maximum moisture content for this product is 16%.

How do I use Product G1910, Gelzan™ CM?
1 answer-
The G1910 is added to well-stirred water, and the dispersion heated to 85-90°C to ensure full hydration. To form a gel, the necessary amount of electrolyte, such as potassium citrate or calcium chloride, is added to the solution at 85°C and the mixture is poured or pumped into containers and allowed to cool undisturbed. The product is biodegradable, so a biocide is recommended. The typical use level is 0.2 to 2.0%.
