Thermo Scientific™ EZ-Link™ NHS-PEG12-Biotin, No-Weigh™ Format
Description
Thermo Scientific™ EZ-Link NHS-PEG12-Biotin is very long, pegylated biotinylation reagent for simple and efficient biotin labeling of antibodies, proteins and other primary amine-containing macromolecules.
Highlights:
- Water-soluble polyethylene glycol (PEG) spacer arm increases solubility of labeled protein
- Excellent purity, molecular weight uniformity and amine-reactivity
- Long spacer arm reduces steric hindrance when binding to avidin molecules

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
EZ-Link NHS-PEG12-Biotin is covered under our general 1-year warranty and is guaranteed to be fully functional for 12 months from the date of shipment, if stored as recommended (-20 degrees C). Please see section 8.1 of our Terms & Conditions of Sale (https://www.thermofisher.com/content/dam/LifeTech/Documents/PDFs/Terms-and-Conditions-of-Sale.pdf) for more details.
The hydrophilic polyethylene glycol (PEG) spacer arm imparts water solubility that is transferred to the biotinylated molecule. For example, antibodies labeled with NHS-PEG4- Biotin exhibit less aggregation when stored in solution as compared to antibodies labeled with reagents having only hydrocarbon spacers. Specific labeling of cell surface proteins is another useful application for these water-soluble and membrane-impermeable reagents.
