Description

Application
3-MPA is used to produce hydrophilic SAMs which are terminated with carboxylic acids and can be further functionalizedto introduce more complex end groups such as enzymes for biosensor applications.SAMs of 3-MPA are capped on ZnSe quantum dots for the electrochemical detection of dopamine.3-MPA is used as a capping agent on CdTe quantum dot nanocrystals (QD NCs) for use as labeling materials in biomedical applications.

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

General Description
3-Mercaptopropionic acid (3-MPA) is used as a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) with a thiol and carboxylic groups. It has short carbon chains and is mainly used as a capping agent on a variety of nanoparticles.
