Description

General description

Degradex^® is made with poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) with an L/G ratio of 50/50 and a Mw of 30,000.
To re-constitute:

• Remove the product from freezer.
• Wait until temperature rises to the ambient temperature.
• Add DI water or buffer to the container.
• Vortex and sonicate for 5 minutes to ensure the microspheres are well suspended.

Application

Plain PLGA particles for testing system compatibility in drug delivery research. Particles can be used as carriers by attaching drug or biological/chemical entities to particle surface. PLGA particles are used for controlled release, sustained release and targeted drug delivery.
