TCO-PEG2-Biotin
This product is a compact heterobifunctional linker containing a trans-cyclooctene (TCO) group, a short PEG2 spacer, and a biotin moiety. The TCO enables rapid copper-free click chemistry with tetrazines, while the biotin tag binds strongly to streptavidin and avidin systems. The PEG2 spacer specifically improves solubility and accessibility, ensuring efficient conjugation in biochemical workflows.
