Use

Hydroxyethyl starch is a non-ionic starch derivative. It is categorized based on its in vitro molecular weight. A 6% concentration is commonly preferred with 130 kD and 0.38 to 0.45 of molecular weight and molar substitution ratios respectively. Degree of substitution; Average of 1 -OH group per 10 glucose units converted to -OCH2CH2OH.Hydroxyethyl starch has been used to study its shear response. It has also been used as a macromolecular compound in the medium for sperm isolation, culture and cryopreservation.
