Properties
Description
Chitosan-PEG-diethyltriaminepentaacetic acid (3 kDa), also known as diethyltriaminepentaacetic acid-PEG-chitosan, is a scientific derivative featuring a 3 kDa PEG spacer connecting chitosan—a polysaccharide from chitin—to DTPA. The product retains chitosan's biodegradability while adding PEG's solubility enhancement and DTPA's diagnostic utility.
