Catalog

PolySciTech is your “parts box” for polymer research. We provide polymers that are hard to make, or commonly needed, and let you focus on results. We have more than 200 ready-made polymers in stock and are always happy to make others.
Polymers in Stock:

Our polymers are not only searchable by category, but also by name, composition and/or properties. The PolyVivo Polymer Finder filters our entire catalog to give you a short list to choose from.

Polymers and Custom Polymer Synthesis

What We Do

PolySciTech^® (PST) is a division of Akina, Inc., based in the Purdue Research Park. PST focuses on commercializing specialty and “hard-to-find” research supplies.

Main product lines include PolyVivo (block copolymers of PLA, PLGA, PCL, PEG, as well as linear polymers, water soluble polymers, fluorescent polymers and reactive intermediates), PolyVitro (release media modifier for testing elution of poorly soluble drugs), and AQUAGEL^® (rapidly swelling superporous hydrogel (SPH)).

PST is the USA distributor of Flamma Fluor fluorescent dyes from DKC-Bioacts. In addition to research products PST also performs contract research and custom synthesis to match your specifications.

We sell both directly and through our distributors.

Sample Analysis, Fluorescent Dyes and New Polymers

Sell Your Polymer

We are expanding our catalog and are accepting polymers developed by others. If you are a scientist and have a polymer to offer for sale, please contact John Garner (jg@akinainc.com). We will include it in our catalog, handle orders and do the shipping, while you reap the rewards. Read more in Distribution with Akina. PDF

Historical note: PolySciTech^® products have formerly carried the names Polycelle, Hytrocell, Stentrix^®, PolyShield (now AK01-AK08) and χtopore (xtopore).
