Application


  • PDGF-AA loaded photo-crosslinked chitosan-based hydrogel for promoting wound healing.: This study investigates the use of a chitosan-based hydrogel, photo-crosslinked with Poly(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate (PEGDMA), to deliver PDGF-AA and enhance wound healing. The results demonstrate significant improvements in wound closure rates and tissue regeneration (Cai et al., 2024).

  • Reducing the foreign body response on human cochlear implants and their materials in vivo with photografted zwitterionic hydrogel coatings.: This research explores the application of PEGDMA in zwitterionic hydrogel coatings to minimize foreign body responses in cochlear implants. The coatings significantly reduced inflammation and improved biocompatibility in vivo (Horne et al., 2023).

  • Full factorial design of experiment-based and response surface methodology approach for evaluating variation in uniaxial compressive mechanical properties, and biocompatibility of photocurable PEGDMA-based scaffolds.: This study uses a full factorial design to optimize the mechanical properties and biocompatibility of PEGDMA-based scaffolds, highlighting their potential use in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine (Bharadwaz et al., 2023).

  • Antifouling and Mechanical Properties of Photografted Zwitterionic Hydrogel Thin-Film Coatings Depend on the Cross-Link Density.: This article examines how varying the cross-link density in PEGDMA-based hydrogel coatings affects their antifouling and mechanical properties. The findings are relevant for the development of durable and biocompatible medical device coatings (Jensen et al., 2021).

  • Biocompatible and photocrosslinkable poly(ethylene glycol)/keratin biocomposite hydrogels.: The research presents the development of PEGDMA/keratin biocomposite hydrogels, demonstrating excellent biocompatibility and potential applications in drug delivery systems and tissue engineering (Wang et al., 2021).

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  
  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf
