Product Description:
Polymer Factory's bis-MPA PEG-Acetylene dendrimers are multifunctional polyethylene glycol scaffolds with an exact number of alkyne end groups. These materials feature a PEG core to aid water solubility and a high degree of functionality for each PEG chain.  The alkyne functional end groups can be modified with various click chemistry reactions, such as CuAAC and Thiol-Yne coupling.  Our bis-MPA polyester scaffolds are biodegrable and have low cytotoxicity, making them ideal candidates for use in biological research applications.
