TRGel discovers, develops, patents, and manufactures poly(2-3)glucoses™. This novel polymer of glucose is our passion and our dedication. Its rich chemistry of biocompatible materials includes thermoresponsive hydrogels with tunable gelation temperatures and construction hydrogels with robust mechanical properties. Our customers apply our gels to a range of biomedical applications. We support them with sterile, non-pyrogenic, defined materials, technical expertise, and development services.

Glucose polymers (cellulose, starch) are the most abundant polymers in the world. poly(2-3)glucose™ is unique in its structure and in its ability to be engineered. It is a synthetic carbohydrate polymer built from glucose. While cellulose and starch are polysaccharides, poly(2-3)glucose™ is a polyether. While cellulose and starch have large polydispersities and regio non-specific substituents, poly(2-3)glucose is practically monodisperse and regio specific.  The result is defined composition and unique properties that will make you smile.
