Hydroxy-PEG14-acid Inhibitor

Hydroxy-PEG14-acid is a PEG derivative containing a hydroxyl group and a terminal carboxylic acid. The hydrophilic PEG spacer increases solubility in aqueous media. The hydroxyl group enables further derivatization or replacement with other reactive functional groups.

Small volumes of Hydroxy-PEG14-acid, inhibitor vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.
