Polyethyleneimine is a branched chain polymer having a ratio of 1:2:1 of primary:secondary:tertiary amines with a branching site every 3 to 3.5 nitrogen atoms and a base structure of (CH₂CH₂NH)x. The nitrogen atoms must be protonated to achieve cationic charge, so the cationic…

Phenol red is an acid-base indicator. It is made by condensing two moles of phenol with one mole of o-sulfobenzoic acid anhydride. Phenol Red is used as a pH indicator in cell culture applications. A solution of phenol red will have a yellow color at a pH of 6.4 or below and a red color at a…

Polysorbate 20 is typically used as an emulsifying agent for the preparation of stable oil-in-water emulsions, particularly in pharmaceutical applications. It has been used in pre-extraction of membranes to remove peripheral proteins. It has been used as a blocking agent on nitrocellulose. …

A naturally occurring aromatic compound. Contains varying amounts of poly(styrene oxide). Phenylacetaldehyde is used for the preparation of fragrances and polymers like polyesters, which find application as a rate controlling additive in polymerization reactions. It is an active component of…
