DBCO-Biotin
This product is a heterobifunctional reagent combining a dibenzocyclooctyne (DBCO) group with biotin. It specifically enables copper-free click chemistry with azides and provides strong streptavidin/avidin affinity for capture, detection, and imaging.
Key Features and Benefits
-
Dual Functionality: DBCO enables copper-free click with azides; biotin provides streptavidin binding.
-
Copper-Free Click Chemistry: Safe for live-cell and in vivo use, avoiding cytotoxic catalysts.
-
High Specificity: Rapid, selective conjugation under physiological conditions.
-
Affinity Tag: Biotin allows pull-down, detection, and immobilization assays.
-
High Purity: Ensures reproducibility in bioconjugation and diagnostic workflows.
Applications
-
Affinity Capture: Binds azide-modified biomolecules via streptavidin/avidin systems.
-
Diagnostics: Supports detection platforms and assay development.
-
Bioorthogonal Labeling: Enables imaging and tracking in cells and tissues.
-
Proteomics: Facilitates pull-down assays and biomolecule immobilization.
-
Drug Delivery: Used in targeted delivery studies and conjugate design.
Storage and Handling
-
Storage: Store at –20 °C in a sealed, dry, and light-protected container.
-
Handling: Use anhydrous solvents such as DMSO; avoid prolonged exposure to moisture.
