Polyethylene Glycol 6000 (PEG 6000)

Poly(ethylene Glycol) molecules of an average molecular mass of 6000. Poly(ethylene Glycol) is used in various applications from industrial chemistry to biological chemistry. Recent research has shown PEG maintains the ability to aid the spinal cord injury recovery process, helping the nerve impulse conduction process in animals. In rats, it has been shown to aid in the repair of severed sciatic axons, helping with nerve damage recovery. It is industrially produced as a lubricating substance for various surfaces to reduce friction. PEG is also used in the preparation of vesicle transport systems in with application towards diagnostic procedures or drug delivery methods.||Molecular Formula:|(C₂H₄O)nH₂O||Molecular Weight:|7300-7900||Appearance:|White to off-white powder or crystals||Melting Point:|62-65°C||Solubility in Water:|Almost transparent to transparent||pH (50g/L):|5-8 ||Storage and Stability:|Store at RT.
