Features and Properties
- Exhibits excellent biocompatibility due to a high content of intermediate water and a low proportion of non-freezing water.
- Forms coatings that combine hydrophilicity and water resistance when used in combination with crosslinking agents
- Demonstrates excellent blood compatibility.
Platelet inactive, Complement inactive, Nonhemolytic
Prevents blood coagulation over extended periods. - Suppresses protein adsorption.
- Inhibits the adhesion of microorganisms (bacteria).
- Cell adhesion can be controlled by selecting appropriate formulations.
Enables both antithrombogenicity and cell adhesion to be achieved simultaneously.
Examples of Applications
- Coating agent for medical devices
- Cell culture substrate
- Cell tissue scaffolding material
- Cancer diagnostic kit
Key Features and Properties Data
– High content of intermediate water and a low proportion of non-freezing water

RX-6-GH-30 has as much intermediate water as PVP. The ratio of non-freezing water to intermediate water is as small as PMEA.
Based on the intermediate water analysis, GH-30 is presumed to have superior biocompatibility compared to PVP and PMEA, which are already in practical use as antithrombotic polymers.
– Excellent Antithrombogenic property
It inhibits platelet adhesion and prevents platelet activation.

– Suppresses protein adsorption
① GH-30 inhibits the adsorption of blood proteins.
② GH-30 inhibits the adsorption of various proteins with different surface charges.

– Inhibits the adhesion of microorganisms (bacteria)
It suppresses the adhesion of bacteria that cause food poisoning and tooth decay, as well as biofilm-forming bacteria.

– Lubricant Coating
GH crosslinked coating film has a certain degree of water resistance and forms a surface with excellent lubricity in wet conditions.
