Description

Recommended products
Poly(Methyl Vinyl Ether) (30% In Water)

Application
High molecular weight branched PEI is commonly used in gene delivery due to its high transfection efficiency in a broad range of cells. Branched PEI has been used to successfully deliver genetic material both in vitro and in vivo while maintaining low cytotoxicity with DNA complexation.

Purpose
For R&D use onlynot for drug household or other uses.

General Description
Polyethylenimine (PEI) or polyaziridine is a polymer with repeating unit composed of the amine group and two carbon aliphatic CH2CH2 spacer. Linear polyethyleneimines contain all secondary amines in contrast to branched PEIs which contain primary secondary and tertiary amino groups. Totally branched dendrimeric forms were also reported. PEI is produced on industrial scale and finds many applications usually derived from its polycationic character.
