Application

Octaethylene Glycol serves multiple purposes across various applications, including bioconjugation, drug delivery, and surface functionalization. As a polymer made up of ethylene glycol monomers with two terminal hydroxyl groups, it operates as a versatile cross-linking reagent. The polyethylene glycol (PEG) chain enhances water solubility in aqueous media, and increasing the number of ethylene glycol units further amplifies these solubility properties, making it an essential component for PEG hydrogels and other PEGylation processes.
