HO-PEG6-t-butyl ester
This product is a high-purity PEG derivative with a terminal hydroxyl group for further functionalization and a tert-butyl ester that can be selectively cleaved under mild acidic conditions. The PEG6 spacer specifically improves solubility, flexibility, and reduces steric hindrance, enabling efficient bioconjugation and material modification.
Key Features and Benefits
