Alfa Chemistry Offers PEG linkers for the Science Community in Bioconjugation and Pegylation

T he world’s leading chemical supplier Alfa Chemistry announced that a total of close to 800 PEG linker  products are now available for its customers worldwide, including acid PEG linkers, alkyl PEG linkers, amino PEG linkers, azido PEG linkers, benzyl PEG linkers, biotin PEG linkers, fmoc PEG linkers, NHBoc PEG linkers, NHS ester PEG linkers, t-butyl ester PEG linkers, THP PEG linkers, and other PEG Linkers. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) linkers are necessary for bioconjugation and pegylation. Due to their characteristics of water solubility, lack of toxicity, low immunogenicity, well defined chain lengths and molecular weights, PEG linkers are widely used in pharmaceutical and biotechnology applications. PEGylation is considered one of the most successful techniques to enhance the therapeutic and biotechnological potential of molecules, such as therapeutic peptides, proteins, small molecules, oligonucleotides, and antibodies. The PEG based products differs from one another because th...
