Biotin-PEG24-NHS Ester
This product is a biotinylation reagent with a biotin tag, a PEG24 spacer, and an NHS ester group. The biotin specifically binds tightly to streptavidin, avidin, and NeutrAvidin systems and the NHS ester reacts efficiently with primary amines to form stable amide bonds. The long PEG24 spacer specifically improves solubility, enhances biotin accessibility, and reduces steric hindrance for demanding conjugation workflows.
