Properties
Description
TCO-chitosan, known as chitosan-trans-cyclooctene, is a research-driven material where TCO moieties are grafted onto chitosan—a glycan sourced from chitin. The product integrates chitosan's mucoadhesion with TCO's bioorthogonal reactivity.
Form
Solid or viscous liquid
Impurities
No visible impurities to the naked eye.
Solubility
