Dimethyldioctadecylammonium Iodide 98.0%

Biotinylation reagent incorporating an aminocaproyl spacer. This can reduce the steric hindrance in binding avidin to some biotinylated compounds. Typically coupled to primary amine in the pH range 6.5-8.5.

For R&D use onlynot for drug household or other uses.

Succinimidyl-6-(biotinamido) Hexanoate is a biotinylation reagent incorporating an aminocaproyl spacer. This can reduce the steric hindrance in binding avidin to some biotinylated compounds when used to biotinylate both the antibody and the carrier in the Protein Avidin-Biotin Capture System. This system avoids the direct interaction of a captured antibody with solid surfaces such as plastics which may reduce antigenicity. It has also been used to enhance the detection of DNA on nitrocellulose. Has also been used as a cell surface labelling reagent
