Poly(methacrylic acid)

(Synonyms: PMAA)

Poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) is a pH/ionic strength-responsive swelling agent and polycation complexing agent. Poly(methacrylic acid) undergoes reversible swelling and size changes through carboxylic acid ionization and sodium ion charge shielding. As a weak polyacid, Poly(methacrylic acid) forms cross-linked hydrogels and hollow capsules for the entrapment and storage of macromolecules. Poly(methacrylic acid) forms electrostatic complexes with polycations to reduce capsule permeability, and high-salt conditions disrupt such complexes to enable macromolecule release.

Help & FAQs

How should lyophilized recombinant proteins be reconstituted and stored?

1. Before opening the cap, centrifuge the vial at 13000 rpm for 20-30 seconds. This step will ensure that any lyophilized powder that may have adhered to the cap or walls is collected at the bottom of the vial, minimizing the risk of product loss.
