General description
Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is a hydrophilic polymer. It can be easily synthesized by the anionic ring opening polymerization of ethylene oxide, into a range molecular weights and variety of end groups. When crosslinked into networks PEG can have high water content, forming “hydrogels PEG is a suitable material for biological applications because it does not trigger an immune response.
We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is an eco-friendly, biodegradable polymer widely used in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. Its non-toxic nature and versatility make it a sustainable choice, derived from renewable resources, contributing to greener product formulations. Click here for more information.
Application
Polyethylene glycol (PEG) platelets were used:
- in PEG-directed gene delivery of protoplast transfection and incubation
- to prepare extraction for measuring cytosolic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) from plant tissues
- as DNA transformation agent in a study of transient gene expression of plant protoplasts, derived from rice leaf sheaths.
- in preparing isothermal assembly buffer and TSS broth preparation for unique nucleotide sequence (UNS)-guided assembly of repetitive DNA parts
- in transformation of DNA into log-phase cells of the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
- as DNA transformation reagent
