Description
PEG has been used in a wide variety of biomedical and laboratory applications, including:
- The precipitation of proteins
- As a fusing agent in enhancing the effect of macrophages on hybridoma
- In the separation and purification of biomolecules
- In induction of cell hybridization
- To recover pathogenic viruses and human rotaviruses from water, oyster and sediment samples
- Demonstrated to have anticell proliferation and antitumor effects via induction of apoptosis
Utilization of PEG:
- PEGs are susceptible to oxidative degradation in the presence of air; minimizing exposure to elevated temperatures and oxygen or addition of an antioxidant can limit the amount of degradation
- PEGs do not hydrolyze or deteriorate upon storage
- PEGs do not support the growth of molds
- PEG is incompatible with phenol and may reduce the antimicrobial action of other preservatives
