m-PEG5-alcohol
This product is a short polyethylene glycol (PEG) derivative terminated with a hydroxyl group. Its hydrophilic PEG5 chain improves solubility and biocompatibility, while the terminal alcohol allows further functionalization in chemical synthesis, surface modification, and bioconjugation.
Key Features and Benefits
-
Hydroxyl Termination: Provides a reactive site for esterification, etherification, or other derivatization.
-
PEG5 Chain: Enhances solubility and biocompatibility while maintaining a compact molecular size.
-
Versatile Functionalization: Serves as a precursor for PEG-based linkers and advanced conjugates.
-
Surface Modification: Enables PEGylation of materials, nanoparticles, or biomolecules.
-
High Purity: Produced to ≥95% purity for reproducible results.
Applications
-
Bioconjugation: Acts as a building block for PEGylated biomolecules and drug conjugates.
-
Polymer Chemistry: Integrates hydroxyl-PEG units into polymers and hydrogels.
-
Surface Engineering: Modifies surfaces to reduce nonspecific binding and improve biocompatibility.
-
Organic Synthesis: Serves as a starting material for PEG-based reagents and crosslinkers.
Storage and Handling
-
Storage: Keep at –20 °C in a sealed, dry container, away from light and moisture.
-
Handling: Use under inert conditions when possible; avoid prolonged exposure to heat.
