Description Hyaluronic acid (hyaluronan) is a glucosaminoglycan consisting of D-glucuronic acid and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine disaccharide units that is a component of connective tissue, skin, vitreous humour, umbilical cord, synovial fluid and the capsule of certain microorganisms contributing to adhesion, elasticity, and viscosity of extracellular substances.
In vitro Hyaluronic acid (HA) is extensively utilized across various medical fields due to its capacity to bind with numerous water molecules, thereby enhancing tissue hydration and mechanical resistance. Its significant roles include facilitating wound healing, ovulation, fertilization, signal transduction, and impacting tumor physiology, making it valuable in aesthetic medicine, joint disorder treatments like osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, and ophthalmology for its lubricative benefits on the corneal endothelium. High molecular mass HA impairs the chemotaxis and migration of inflammatory cells, thus serving as an effective barrier to inflammation and shielding from free radicals. Furthermore, HA contributes to aesthetic dermatology by minimizing mechanical damage to tissues with minimal side effects. Research also suggests its potential in identifying tumor markers, managing liver diseases, and application in pharmaceutical formulations. In cancer research, particularly digestive cancers, HA interactions with tumor cells may activate signaling pathways that promote proliferation, cell adhesion, migration, invasion, and contribute to angiogenesis, lymphangiogenesis, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, stem cell-like characteristics, and resistance to chemotherapy and radiation.
In vivo HA (hyaluronic acid) is ubiquitous across biological fluids and tissues, with its beneficial effects on joint health evidenced by numerous animal studies. These studies have demonstrated that HA enhances cartilage matrix synthesis, prevents its degradation, mitigates inflammation, fosters the production of endogenous HA, and augments cartilage resilience and hydration. Additionally, topically applied high molecular weight HA formulations have been shown to expedite the healing of acute skin wounds and facilitate the recovery of venous leg ulcers, thereby offering a valuable option for chronic wound management.

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the

  • Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
See Example

An example of a molarity calculation using the molarity calculator
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 10 ml of water given that the molecular weight of the compound is 197.13 g/mol?
Enter 197.13 into the Molecular Weight (MW) box
Enter 10 into the Concentration box and select the correct unit (millimolar)
Enter 10 into the Volume box and select the correct unit (milliliter)
Press calculate
The answer of 19.713 mg appears in the Mass box

The dilution calculator is a useful tool which allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentration. Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1.

See Example

An example of a dilution calculation using the Tocris dilution calculator
What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 20ml of a 50 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=50 μM, V2=20 ml and V1 is the unknown:
Enter 10 into the Concentration (start) box and select the correct unit (millimolar)
Enter 50 into the Concentration (final) box and select the correct unit (micromolar)
