Collection: Drug Delivery Systems (DDS)

Drug Delivery Systems (DDS) — covers raw materials for research on active compound delivery systems, from chelating agents, cyclodextrins, and natural polymers such as alginate and chitin, to acrylate monomers for polymer synthesis and prodrug starting materials. These materials serve as components that form matrices, carriers, or structural modifications in delivery formulation research.

Drug Delivery Systems (DDS) materials are used by pharmaceutical and materials science researchers to design carrier matrices, microencapsulation, or molecular conjugation using natural and synthetic polymers such as sodium alginate, carboxymethyl cellulose, or acrylate derivatives. Chelating agents and cyclodextrins are used to form inclusion complexes or stabilize active compounds in delivery systems, while prodrug materials support molecular structure modification for controlled-release research.

Example products in this collection: TCI A0205 9005-38-3 Sodium Alginate 100-200, TCI B6131 1190101-34-8 4-[4,7-Bis(2-tert-butoxy-2-oxoethyl)-1,4,7-triazonan-1-yl]-5-tert-butoxy-5-oxopentanoic Acid, TCI A0198 Albumin from Dried Egg White, crude, TCI B6579 936803-69-9 4,4'-[2-(4-Bromophenyl)-2-phenylethene-1,1-diyl]diphenol, TCI A0142 141-32-2 Butyl Acrylate (stabilized with MEHQ), TCI C0045 9004-32-4 Carboxymethyl Cellulose Sodium Salt (n=approx. 500), TCI A0045 108-05-4 Vinyl Acetate Monomer (stabilized with HQ), TCI C0072 1398-61-4 Chitin.

Select based on the molecular weight or degree of polymerization of the polymer, the purity and source of natural materials, and the presence or absence of stabilizer in acrylate monomers, to suit the design of the delivery system being studied. All products are genuine Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan products, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on each item's page.
