Product Description
Chitosan Powder
Chitosan Powder is a versatile, high-purity linear polysaccharide composed of randomly distributed β-(1→4)-linked D-glucosamine and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine units. Produced through the alkaline deacetylation of chitin sourced from crustacean exoskeletons (such as shrimp and crab shells), chitosan is widely recognized as one of the most functional, environmentally sustainable biomaterials in modern science. It serves as an indispensable analytical reagent and functional polymer across university biotechnology faculties, material science institutes, pharmaceutical research facilities, and environmental engineering laboratories throughout Bangladesh.
Studying bio-nanotechnology, microencapsulation matrices, and biocompatible hydrogels requires a consistent raw material with a reliable degree of deacetylation and controlled molecular weight. This laboratory-grade chitosan powder delivers high chemical reactivity owing to its abundant primary amino groups (-NH₂), which protonate in acidic media (such as 1% acetic acid) to impart a strong positive charge. This unique polycationic nature enables strong electrostatic interactions with negatively charged polymers, DNA/proteins, heavy metal ions, and cellular membranes. It is chemically stable under cool, dry storage conditions and offers high purity free from extraneous marine residues or insolubles.
Engineered for laboratory and industrial R&D, Victor Scientific Co. supplies chitosan powder in hermetically sealed, moisture-proof chemical containers to maintain its free-flowing granular state and prevent oxidative degradation. Victor Scientific Co. provides authentic laboratory chemicals, reagents, and scientific tools nationwide with assured quality certification, batch traceability, and rapid courier delivery across all 64 districts of Bangladesh.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
A1
The price of laboratory-grade Chitosan Powder in Bangladesh typically ranges between BDT 3,000 and BDT 6,000 per 25g to 100g pack depending on the brand (e.g., SRL, HiMedia, or Sigma-Aldrich grade), molecular weight, and degree of deacetylation. Contact Victor Scientific Co. directly for exact quotes and bulk institutional pricing.
Q2
How do you dissolve Chitosan Powder in the laboratory?
A2
Chitosan is insoluble in pure water and neutral or alkaline pH. It dissolves readily in dilute organic acid solutions (typically 1% v/v aqueous acetic acid, formic acid, or dilute hydrochloric acid) under magnetic stirring at room temperature.
Q3
What degree of deacetylation (DDA) does this chitosan powder have?
A3
Standard research-grade batches supplied by Victor Scientific Co. generally feature a high degree of deacetylation of 85% to 90%, ensuring high charge density and rapid solubilization.
Q4
Can this chitosan powder be used for making biodegradable bioplastic films?
A4
Yes, it is widely utilized by researchers and university students in Bangladesh to formulate biodegradable, antimicrobial food packaging wraps and bioplastic films by blending dissolved chitosan with plasticizers like glycerol.
Q5
Does Victor Scientific Co. deliver laboratory chemicals safely across Bangladesh?
A5
Yes, Victor Scientific Co. packages all chemical reagents and powders in tamper-evident, moisture-proof containers with protective cushioning and delivers to all 64 districts in Bangladesh—including Chattogram, Rajshahi, Khulna, and Sylhet—within 24 to 48 hours.
