Thermo Scientific™ NHS (N-hydroxysuccinimide)

Prepare amine-reactive NHS-ester crosslinkers or enhance carbodiimide (EDC) conjugation for peptides or proteins using N-hydroxysuccinimide, CAS 6066-82-6.

Supplier:  Thermo Scientific™ 24500

Catalog No. PI24500

Description

Thermo Scientific™ Pierce NHS is pure N-hydroxysuccinimide, the essential compound needed to prepare amine-reactive NHS-ester crosslinkers or to enhance conjugation efficiencies when using the carbodiimide EDC.

Highlights:

• Form an acyl amino ester with carboxyl groups when used the EDC
• NHS-activated molecule reacts efficiently with primary amines, resulting in stable amide bond
• Allows for two-step EDC reactions between carboxyl- and amine-containing molecules
• NHS-activated molecule can be stabilized by drying, allowing manufacture of amine-reactive probes and surfaces
• Reactive groups: NHS
• Reactive toward: amino groups (upon activation of carboxylates)
