4arm-PEG-Thiol (4arm-PEG-SH), MW 10K is a multi-arm PEG derivative with four reactive thiol groups. It is designed for efficient cross-linking and conjugation, particularly in biomedical and pharmaceutical applications. Its four-arm structure enables the formation of strong thiol-ene or disulfide bonds, making it useful for applications like hydrogel formation, drug delivery systems, and surface modification.
Key Features:
- 4arm Structure: Provides four thiol groups for efficient cross-linking.
- Thiol Reactivity: Binds effectively with maleimide or acrylate groups.
- MW 10K: Offers flexibility and strength due to its higher molecular weight.
- Biocompatibility: Safe for various medical uses.
Applications:
- Hydrogel Formation: Excellent for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.
- Drug Delivery: Supports controlled drug release systems.
- Surface Modification: Ideal for modifying surfaces to improve biocompatibility.
Benefits:
- Strong Cross-Linking: The four thiol arms form stable, robust bonds.
- Versatile Use: Suitable for a range of biomedical and pharmaceutical applications.
Storage:
Store in a cool, dry place, and protect from light to maintain reactivity.
