Azido-PEG3-triethoxysilane
This product is a heterobifunctional linker containing a terminal azide group, a short PEG3 spacer, and a triethoxysilane moiety. The azide supports copper-catalyzed (CuAAC) or strain-promoted (SPAAC) click chemistry with alkynes, while the triethoxysilane enables covalent attachment to glass, silica, or metal oxide surfaces. The PEG3 chain improves solubility and flexibility, reducing steric hindrance and nonspecific interactions, making this reagent especially ideal for surface functionalization and biointerface engineering.
