Biopharma PEG Expands Multi-Arm PEG Product Line for Medical and Biopharma Applications

Watertown, MA, 20 Aug, 2024 – Biopharma PEG is excited to announce its expanded range of Multi-Arm PEG products, which are rapidly gaining traction in the medical and biopharma fields. These innovative multi-arm PEG derivatives are highly effective cross-linkers that have been widely studied and implemented in various medical applications, including hydrogels for regenerative medicine, controlled drug release, 3D cell culture, and wound healing.

"At Biopharma PEG, we provide high-purity multi-arm PEG linkers with a variety of functional groups, ranging from 1k to 40k molecular weights," said Sonia Lee, Business Development of Biopharma PEG. "These PEG derivatives can be cross-linked into hydrogels, which have versatile applications in medical devices and regenerative medicine, particularly for controlled drug release, wound sealing, and 3D cell cultures."

Wide Product Range: Biopharma PEG offers multi-arm PEG linkers with different branching and functional group options to suit diverse needs in medical applications. Available products include:

  • 2-Arm PEG (Y-shape PEG, branched PEG): Examples include Y-shape-PEG-NHS, etc.
  • 4-Arm PEG: Examples include 4-ArmPEG-SG, 4-ArmPEG-SS, 4-ArmPEG-NH2, etc.
  • 8-Arm PEG: Examples include 8-ArmPEG-SG, 8-ArmPEG-SS, 8-ArmPEG-Mal, etc.

These products are supplied in molecular weights from 1K to 40k, providing versatility for various research and development needs. The total molecular weight of each multi-arm PEG product is calculated by summing the molecular weights of the PEG chains on each arm.

Key Applications: Multi-arm PEG products play a crucial role in forming hydrogels that have numerous applications, including:

  • Controlled Drug Release: PEG hydrogels allow for sustained and targeted delivery of therapeutics.
  • 3D Cell Culture: PEG hydrogels provide a supportive environment for cell growth and tissue engineering.
  • Wound Sealing and Healing: PEG hydrogels are being developed for advanced wound care applications, promoting healing and tissue regeneration.

Custom Solutions Available: Biopharma PEG also offers custom synthesis options for multi-arm PEG products with specific molecular weights and functional groups that are not listed in the online catalog.
