Product Overview
Polythene Glycol (PEG) is a versatile, water-soluble polymer widely used in laboratories for its excellent solvent properties and low toxicity. This high-purity PEG is ideal for applications requiring precise molecular weight control, such as protein crystallization, cell culture, and biochemical assays. Its non-ionic nature ensures minimal interference in sensitive experiments, making it a reliable choice for researchers and educators. The liquid form allows for easy handling and accurate dispensing, while its stability under varying temperatures ensures consistent performance. Whether used as a solvent, stabilizer, or lubricant, this laboratory-grade PEG meets stringent quality standards for reproducibility and safety in scientific workflows.
FAQs
