PLGA Nanoparticles
Description
Our single-layer poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles form nanostructures with a hydrophobic core encapsulated inside a hydrophilic shell. PLGA surface contains COOH groups that can be used for EDC/NHS based bioconjugation. Optional surface modifications include methoxy PEG (improves in vivo blood half-life) and PEG-Azide (can be used to covalently attach biomolecules by click chemistry).
Features
- Made with FDA approved biocompatible and biodegradable PLGA polymer.
- Conjugation-ready for covalent attachment of biomolecules.
- High degree of monodispersity.
- (Optional) Incorporation of Methoxy-PEG minimizes non-specific protein adsorption. This increase nanoparticle in-vivo blood half-life.
- (Optional) Incorporation of Azide-PEG allows conjugation of proteins and small molecules by click chemistry.
Applications
- In vitro and in vivo delivery of proteins and small molecules.
Product is supplied as lyophilized powder.
