Biotin-Azide
This product is a biotin derivative specifically containing an azide group for click chemistry reactions. The azide functionality specifically enables efficient conjugation with alkyne-modified molecules, while the biotin moiety provides strong affinity for streptavidin and avidin binding.
Key Features and Benefits
-
Azide Group: Reacts with alkynes via CuAAC or strain-promoted click chemistry.
-
Biotin Moiety: Ensures high-affinity binding to streptavidin and avidin.
-
High Reactivity: Enables fast, efficient conjugation under mild conditions.
-
Versatile Utility: Suitable for labeling, detection, and purification workflows.
-
High Purity: Synthesized and purified to ≥95% for reproducibility.
Applications
-
Bioconjugation: Couples biotin to alkyne-modified proteins, peptides, and small molecules.
-
Affinity Tagging: Facilitates streptavidin/avidin-based pull-down, detection, and imaging.
-
Bioassays: Supports ELISA, Western blotting, and probe development.
-
Chemical Biology: Enables construction of biotinylated probes and tracers.
-
Diagnostics: Useful in biosensor and molecular detection platforms.
Storage and Handling
-
Storage: Store at –20 °C in a sealed, desiccated container.
-
Handling: Avoid moisture and prolonged exposure to light; prepare fresh solutions before use.
This product combines efficient azide-based click reactivity with the strong binding affinity of biotin, making it an especially essential reagent for bioconjugation, assay development, and molecular labeling.
