Features and Properties

  1. Exhibits excellent biocompatibility due to a high content of intermediate water and a low proportion of non-freezing water.
  2. Forms coatings that combine hydrophilicity and water resistance when used in combination with crosslinking agents
  3. Demonstrates excellent blood compatibility.
    Platelet inactive, Complement inactive, Nonhemolytic
    Prevents blood coagulation over extended periods.
  4. Suppresses protein adsorption.
  5. Inhibits the adhesion of microorganisms (bacteria).
  6. 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.
【Platelet-rich plasma/Leave for 1hr】

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.
