2-Hydroxypropyl)-β-cyclodextrin is used to enhance solubility of hydrophobic compounds by forming complex with them. This favors its usage in pharmaceutics, in the manufacturing of drugs. Beta- cyclodextrin and its methyl derivative is used to remove cholesterol from cultured cells. Many common chiral stationary phases used in high-performance liquid chromatography columns consists of beta-cyclodextrin.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
