8-Arm PEG-Acrylate is a multiarm PEG derivative with acrylate groups at each terminal of the eight arms connected to onehexaglycerol core. The 8arm-PEG acrylate can be used for radical initiator or UV light induced polymerization to synthesize PEG hydrogel. 8-Arm PEG-methacrylate is provided through our custom synthesis service. 4-Methoxyphenol or MeHQ at ~ 200 ppm is added as inhibitors.
