Range of Avg. Molecular Weight 5400-6600
PEGs are soluble in water and most organic solvents. The reason for for using PEGs with large molecular weight is that smaller PEGs can diffuse through the cell wall and are even taken up by plant cells and distributed through the plant, which may influence the results. larger than 6,000 (PEG 6000) are inert, non-ionic and cell impermeable. to simulate osmotic stress.
