What is PEG?

PEG, short for polyethylene glycol (or poly[ethylene glycol]), is a chemical compound made up of repeating ethylene glycol units. It is a water-soluble, non-toxic, non-antigenic, and biocompatible O-CH₂-CH₂ polymer. PEGs are primarily categorized by their molecular weight (MW) ranges.

Why use an anti-PEG antibody?

Anti-PEG antibodies are used to study the pharmacokinetics of PEGylated drugs, including their distribution, metabolism, and excretion.

What PEG-related products are available?

We offer a range of PEG detection products, including high-affinity rabbit monoclonal PEG antibodies and detection kits.

What is the molecular weight range of PEG molecules detectable by your antibodies?

  • Smallest detectable PEG: 750 Da
  • Largest detectable PEG: 40 kDa
