8-Arm PEG-Alkyne

Synonyms: Eight-Arm polyethylene glycol-Alkyne; Eight-Arm PEG-Alkyne

8-Arm polyethylene glycol-Alkyne (8-Arm PEG-Alkyne) is a multi arm peg derivative with acrylamide groups at each terminal of the eight arms connected to one hexaglycerol core. It is usually white solid. It is suitable for storage in a dry environment below -20℃ and needs inert gas (argon or nitrogen) protection for long-term storage. It is easy to dissolve in water, CHCl₃, DMSO. Alkynes can react with azide in aqueous solution under the catalysis of cupric. Eight arm polyethylene glycol derivatives have a variety of active groups and can be used to modify a variety of materials. It has many potential applications, including drug delivery, nanomaterials research, cell culture, cross-linking, labeling, imaging, hydrogel and other fields.
