PEG 8000 [Polyethylene Glycol 8000]

PEG 8000 (Polyethylene Glycol 8000) is a high-molecular-weight, water-soluble polymer widely used in pharmaceutical, biochemical, and laboratory applications. Supplied as a white to off-white powder, PEG 8000 exhibits excellent solubility and viscosity properties, making it versatile for a variety of experimental and industrial uses.

In research and laboratory settings, PEG 8000 is commonly used as a precipitating agent, protein stabilizer, cryoprotectant, and in drug formulation studies. Its polymeric nature allows it to modify solution viscosity, stabilize macromolecules, and assist in the precipitation or concentration of biomolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids.

PEG 8000 is intended for laboratory, research, and industrial use only and is not suitable for direct human consumption. Proper storage in a cool, dry environment is recommended to maintain product performance.
