Oslo, Norway, October 17, 2007 Following
successful customer trials, the Scandinavian-based PEG specialist Polypure has
launched its latest monodispersed PEG derivative Maleimidopropionyl-PEG NHS
ester. This heterobifunctional PEG is designed to improve crosslinking between
compounds carrying amino groups and thiol functions and is attracting widespread
interest from both diagnostic and pharmaceutical developers.
According to Polypure Marketing Director Magali Le Bomin, this new PEG fully
demonstrates the increasingly acknowledged benefits of monodispersed PEGs: The
polymer homogeneity achieved by using our patented Sample Displacement
Chromatographic purification method ensures a high level of functional
integrity. Likewise, the single molecular weight avoids the characterisation
problems of polydispersed polymer mixtures. Looking at applications, for
diagnostics we can significantly improve cross-linking, binding and lots
reproducibility. Similarly for pharmaceuticals, the extended PEG space length
enhances the solubility of poorly soluble drugs. Furthermore, there is the
overriding benefit of being able to reduce diagnostic and drug design complexity
which has a significant impact on development, regulatory and production times.
