Product information "Polyethylene glycol 6000 - PEG 6000"
Polyethylene glycols (PEGs) can be readily synthesised through the anionic ring-opening polymerisation of ethylene oxide to produce substances with a wide range of molecular weights and a variety of end groups. Cross-linked PEG can have a high water content and form ‘hydrogels’. As PEGs do not trigger an immune response, they are suitable for a wide range of biological applications.
Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is used for purposes as diverse as virus/phage enrichment, the fusion of plant protoplasts or the fractionated precipitation of proteins. Furthermore, ligation efficiency can be increased through ‘macromolecular crowding’, i.e. the concentration of molecules in solution. A 40% PEG 6000 solution was used as the stock solution.
