Questions

1–5 of 5 Questions  
  1. Is the CMR danger related to the presence of Phenol as a preservative or other components ? and/or Iron-dextran itself ?

    1 answer
    1. The CMR (Carcinogenic, Mutagenic, or Reproductive toxic) classification related to this product is affected by both iron-dextran and phenol. Iron-dextran may potentially be a human carcinogen, while phenol is associated with the risk of causing genetic defects. For detailed information, please refer to Section 11.2 in the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) available at the following link: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/sds/sigma/d8517?userType=anonymous

  2. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.

  3. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf

  4. I am interested in the dextran concentration and the molcular weight of the dextran of the iron dextran solution (D8517)

    1 answer
    1. The detran concentration is not determined for this product. The iron particles are coated with dextran by Ven der Waals forces, allowing them to remain in solution. The dextran used in the preparation is partically hydrolyzed and has an approximate molecular weight of 5000 daltons.

  5. Provide the information about concentration for this product and further solubility.

    1 answer
    1. The product is provided as a 100 mg iron/ml solution in water, containing 0.5% phenol as a preservative. It can be further diluted in water or buffer.
