Used as a crosslinking agent in the synthesis of hydrogels, particularly in biomedical applications. It is valuable for creating drug delivery systems due to its biocompatibility and ability to form stable networks.

Applied in surface modification to enhance the hydrophilicity of materials, making them suitable for use in biosensors and tissue engineering scaffolds.

Often utilized in bioconjugation processes to link biomolecules, such as proteins or peptides, for targeted therapeutic applications.

Its PEG (polyethylene glycol) spacer provides flexibility and reduces steric hindrance, making it effective in improving the efficiency of molecular interactions in various biotechnological and pharmaceutical formulations.
