Description
General Description
PLGA-Biotin is a functional biodegradable polymer containing poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) and a terminal biotin group. The biotin functionality enables strong and selective interaction with avidin and streptavidin systems for nanoparticle surface engineering, targeted delivery, and biomaterial functionalization applications.
PLGA-based materials are widely used in drug delivery systems, controlled release formulations, nanoparticles, and biomedical research due to their biodegradability and biocompatibility.
