Key Properties
Sodium polyanethol sulfonate (AR, 10,000 anticoagulant U/g) is a complex polymer sulfonate that serves as a highly effective anticoagulant additive, particularly in blood-culture bottles. This compound is recognized for its ability to inhibit the coagulation of blood, making it essential in clinical microbiology for the cultivation of microorganisms from blood samples. Its unique properties allow for the preservation of viable bacteria while preventing clot formation, which is crucial for accurate diagnostic testing. The product is classified as an analytical reagent (AR) grade, ensuring high purity and reliability for laboratory applications.
Also known as Polyanethol sulfonate, Sodium salt.

- Substance
Sodium polyanethol sulfonate appears as a white to pale tan powder, which is hygroscopic in nature. It is soluble in water, forming a clear solution that is essential for its use in blood-culture media. The compound does not have a defined melting point due to its polymeric nature, but it is stable under normal laboratory conditions. The density of the powder is approximately 1.0 g/cm³, and it has a pH range of 6.0 to 8.0 when dissolved in water. The product is non-volatile and does not emit any significant odor, making it suitable for laboratory environments.
