Biotin-PEG4-acid
This product is a heterobifunctional linker featuring a biotin moiety for high-affinity avidin/streptavidin binding and a terminal carboxylic acid for amide coupling. The PEG4 spacer provides solubility, flexibility, and balanced spacing, making it especially effective in bioconjugation, labeling, and drug delivery applications.
Key Features and Benefits:
-
Biotin Moiety: Ensures strong, specific avidin/streptavidin interactions.
-
Carboxylic Acid: Couples efficiently with primary amines.
-
PEG4 Spacer: Provides hydrophilicity and steric accessibility.
-
Dual Reactivity: Combines biotin affinity with conjugation chemistry.
-
High Purity: Ensures consistent, reproducible results.
Applications:
-
Bioconjugation: Links biomolecules through biotin-streptavidin systems and amide bonds.
-
Probe Development: Builds biotinylated probes for imaging and diagnostics.
-
Drug Delivery: Provides PEGylated scaffolds with strong biotin affinity.
-
Surface Functionalization: Introduces biotin handles to polymers and nanoparticles.
Storage and Handling:
-
Storage: Store at –20 °C in a sealed, light- and moisture-protected container.
-
Handling: Use anhydrous solvents (e.g., DMF, DMSO) for efficient coupling.
This product integrates strong biotin binding with carboxyl functionality in a PEG4 scaffold, specifically providing solubility and dual reactivity for advanced conjugation workflows.
