PEG500

PEG500 (Polyethylene glycol 500) is a versatile polymer that's used as a solvent, dispersant, lubricant, and more in industries like pharmaceuticals and biotechnology, and it can also modify liposomes. PEG500 is commonly used as a solvent or carrier for drugs, helping with capsule endoscopy to improve image quality and cecum completion rates[1][2].
