-
Primary Amine: Couples with carboxyls, NHS esters, or activated linkers.
-
PEG3 Spacer: Provides solubility and compact spacing.
-
Dual Reactivity: Combines click chemistry with amine conjugation.
-
High Purity: Ensures reproducibility in sensitive workflows.
Applications
-
Bioconjugation: Links tetrazine-modified biomolecules with amine-reactive partners.
-
Probe Development: Builds multifunctional probes for imaging and diagnostics.
-
Drug Delivery: Provides PEG scaffolds with click and amine handles.
-
Material Science: Functionalizes nanoparticles, polymers, and surfaces with dual chemistry.
Storage and Handling
-
Storage: Store at –20 °C in a sealed, light- and moisture-protected container.
-
Handling: Use anhydrous solvents such as DMF or DMSO; avoid prolonged exposure to moisture.
