General description

Poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) solution (PDADMAC) is a cationic polyelectrolyte that is widely utilized as a flocculant. It is prepared by the radical polymerization of diallyldimethylammonium chloride (DADMAC) in presence of a catalyst in the form of an organic peroxide.[1][2][3]

Application

PDADMAC can be used as an electrolytic solution in combination with mesoporous silica to form a responsive carrier system for potential usage in drug delivery.[4] It can be also be coated on gold nanorods to enhance the cellular uptake in biomedical systems.[5] It is used in the surface modification of indium tin oxide (ITO) substrate which may be used in chemical sensors or biosensor based applications.[6]

There is great clinical interest in developing novel nanocarriers for hydrophobic cyanine dyes used as photosensitizing agents in photodynamic therapy (PDT). In the present study we have employed nanoemulsion-templated oil-core multilayer nanocapsules as robust nanocarriers for a cyanine-type photosensitizer IR-786.

We present an article that discusses two applications in particular; first, using these layers as polyelectrolyte membranes to control permeability.

Questions

1–5 of 5 Questions  
  1. 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

  2. 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.
