General description

8arm PEG Maleimide. Crosslinks into hydrogels. MAL is selective for thiol groups on cystein side chains; reacts at pH 5.0-6.5. 8ARM(TP)-PEG with tripentaerythritol core has a lower polydispersity and higher molecular weight accuracy compared with the generic 8ARM-PEG with a hexaglycerin core.

Application

Applications may include: bioconjugation, drug delivery, PEG hydrogel, crosslinker, and surface functionalization
