Precision Antibiody
Quanta BioDesign
Exhibitor
Quanta BioDesign's dPEG® platform is founded upon discrete MW PEGs, which enable assembly of unique structures with single-molecule precision and without the liabilities associated with hydrophobic carbon-based linkers.

The dPEG® product line facilitates linker architectures that enhance a conjugate's tumor-targeting properties by altering its physicochemistry, pharmacokinetics, and biodistribution (See Chemical Linkers in Antibody Drug Conjugates, Royal Society of Chemistry, 2021). Tailoring these properties, through the optimal incorporation of dPEG® components, to shift in vivo delivery from off-target to tumor-targeted pathways has the potential to improve therapeutic margins.
