8arm PEG Norbornene (tripentaerythritol)

Description

8arm PEG Norbornene (tripentaerythritol) reagent with high quality specification of > 85% Substitution.

JenKem Technology’s  8arm PEG Norbornene (tripentaerythritol) derivatives with hydrolytically degradable ester linkage can be crosslinked into PEG hydrogels. Norbornene PEGs are suitable for copper-free click chemistry reactions with tetrazines and for thiol-ene (thiolene) click reactions with thiols. PEG hydrogels have a variety of applications in medical devices and regenerative medicine, and are especially of interest for controlled release of drugs, for 2D and 3D cell culture, and for wound sealing and healing. Norbornene (NB) facilitates click chemistry reactions with thiols and tetrazines. JenKem Technology’s 8 arm (TP) PEGs are synthesized by ethoxylation of tripentaerythritol. 8ARM(TP)-PEG polymers with tripentaerythritol core have a higher purity as evidenced by MALDI compared with the generic 8ARM-PEG polymers with a hexaglycerin core.

The number of ethylene oxide units in the PEG chain may not be equal for all arms. The total molecular weight reported for the JenKem multi-arm PEGs is the sum of the PEG molecular weights of each arm. Multi-arm star PEG products with molecular weights, branching, and functional groups not listed in our online catalog may be available by custom synthesis. Please inquire at tech@jenkemusa.com about pricing and availability.

Bulk PEGs and GMP grade PEGs are made-to-order. Please contact us for bulk pricing.
