PLGA Cy5 Capped, MW 10K is a fluorescently labeled poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) featuring a terminal Cy5 fluorophore. The biodegradable PLGA backbone specifically supports fluorescence imaging, polymer tracking, nanoparticle visualization, drug-delivery research, and biomaterial studies.
Key Features and Benefits
- Cy5-Labeled PLGA: Combines biodegradable PLGA with terminal Cy5 fluorescence for visualization and polymer tracking.
- MW 10K: Provides a moderate molecular weight with good processability specifically for particle formulation, polymer research, and fluorescent material development.
- Cy5 Fluorophore: Provides far-red fluorescence specifically for detection using compatible fluorescence imaging and analytical systems.
- Far-Red Detection: Cy5 fluorescence specifically supports visualization with reduced interference from many shorter-wavelength fluorescent signals.
- Biodegradable Copolymer: The PLGA backbone contains hydrolyzable ester linkages that support gradual degradation under appropriate conditions.
- Lactide-Glycolide Backbone: Combines lactic acid- and glycolic acid-derived units in a biodegradable polyester platform.
- Good Processability: The molecular weight supports polymer dissolution, formulation, particle preparation, and fluorescent material development.
- Polymer Tracking: The fluorescent label enables visualization and tracking of PLGA-containing materials in experimental systems.
