PLGA-PEG-PLGA (hydrogel) (LA:GA 7:1) (15% solution)
PLGA-PEG-PLGA (hydrogel) (LA:GA 7:1) (15% solution) is a biodegradable thermosensitive hydrogel product that can undergo phase transition at a specific temperature. PLGA-PEG-PLGA (hydrogel) (LA:GA 7:1) (15% solution) can be widely used in drug delivery systems, tissue engineering, wound dressings, and biosensors. The gelation temperature varies with concentration. The gelation temperature varies with the concentration; the higher the concentration, the lower the gelation temperature.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
Performance: Can gel repeatedly with temperature changes. A colorless to slightly yellowish transparent solution at room temperature and a milky white gel at body temperature.
Concentration: 15 wt%
Gelation Temperature: 32-34°C
Generally, a 200 μL 20% concentration hydrogel solution can gel at 33°C for 20 min. If the experimental volume or experimental conditions change, it is recommended to appropriately extend the incubation time.

3D Hydrogel Synthetic Scaffold Culture
3D hydrogel synthetic scaffold culture embeds cells, spheroids, organoids, or tissue fragments inside a hydrated crosslinked polymer network so that cells receive matrix and cell-cell cues in three dimensions rather than from a flat plastic surface. A literature-supported model protocol is PEG-4MAL hydrogel culture, in which four-arm maleimide-terminated PEG is functionalized with cysteine-containing adhesive peptides such as RGD and crosslinked with protease-degradable peptides such as GPQ-W; this creates a defined, modular scaffold that supports human organoid generation and culture. The readouts are scaffold-supported growth, morphology, lumen formation, budding, viability, proliferation, lineage-marker expression, and matrix-dependent expansion or differentiation; reported assays include transmitted-light imaging, immunofluorescence, in situ hybridization, qRT-PCR, and rheological characterization.
