Description
mPEG-Dendro Acid  consists of a linear PEG conjugated to one perfect dendrimer terminated with carboxylic acid groups. This series of products feature a bisMPA dendrimer with a definite number of functional end groups (such as acid COOH).  The dendrimer option in this series of products includes  G2, G3 and G4 generations  having 4, 8, and 16 end functional groups, respectively.
