Methoxy poly ethylene glycol mpeg

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States

Methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) (mPEG) is a synthetic polymer that consists of a methoxy group attached to a polyethylene glycol (PEG) chain. It is a colorless, viscous liquid with a molecular weight range typically between 2,000 and 40,000 g/mol. mPEG is used as a versatile reagent in various applications, including drug delivery, protein modification, and surface modification of biomaterials.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
