General description

PEG-Link is comprised of polyethylene glycol and thiol (SH) groups at each end. The thiol groups form stable thioether bond with thiol-reactive groups of the polymers (Mal-PVA, Mal-Dextran, SG-PVA and SG-Dextran), which results in stable hydrogel. The matrix metalloproteases secreted by cells cannot cleave PEG crosslinker.

Application

TRUEPEG is used to crosslink PVA and dextran polymers to generate stable hydrogel.

Features and Benefits

Non-MMP degradable.

Components

TRUEPEG contains PEG non cell-degradable crosslinker lyophilized and water.

Caution

Avoid prolong exposure of PEG non cell-degradable crosslinker to air.

Storage Class Code

10 - Combustible liquids
