4arm-PEG-azide, MW 5K
4arm-PEG-azide, MW 5K is a high-purity, multi-arm PEG polymer with four terminal azide groups specifically for efficient copper-catalyzed (CuAAC) or strain-promoted (SPAAC) click chemistry. The PEG core has an average molecular weight of 5,000 Da, providing excellent aqueous solubility, low toxicity, and flexible linker arms for high-density functionalization. This reagent is especially ideal for hydrogel crosslinking, nanoparticle modification, and multi-valent bioconjugation in both aqueous and organic systems.
