Biomedical Materials

A laboratory setting with a close-up view of test tubes filled with colorful liquids in shades of yellow, red, and blue. A pipette is positioned above one of the test tubes. The test tubes are held in a stand with multiple slots, and there are blurred laboratory equipment and glassware in the background.

Biomaterials are any synthetic or natural material used to improve or replace functionality in biological systems. The best biomaterials are biocompatible and work synergistically with the biological host. The field of biomaterials is interdisciplinary and includes chemistry, biology and medicine. Here you will find biocompatible metals and ceramics as well as a range of biodegradable polymers. We offer a wide selection of poly(ethylene glycol) polymers with various end-functionalities, as well as bifunctional cross-linkers and crosslinking agents useful for synthesizing hydrogels and biodegradable devices.   

Example of polymer molecular structure

Polymerization Tools

We provide reliable polymerization tools to initiate and manipulate a chemical reaction of monomers to form polymer chains or networks with specific properties for diverse applications. 

Polyethylene Glycol (PEGs and PEOs)

We offer poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and PEG solutions of different grades and molecular weights in different pack sizes.
