Thermo Scientific™ EZ-Link™ NHS-PEG4-Biotin
Description
Thermo Scientific™ EZ-Link NHS-PEG4-Biotin is a pegylated, water-soluble reagent for simple and efficient biotin labeling of antibodies, proteins and other primary amine-containing macromolecules.
- Protein labeling - biotinylate antibodies or other proteins for detection or purification using streptavidin probes or resins
- Amine-reactive - reacts with primary amines (-NH2), such as the side-chain of lysines (K) or the amino-termini of polypeptides
- Pegylated - spacer arm contains a hydrophilic, 4-unit, polyethylene glycol (PEG) group
- Enhances solubility - pegylation imparts water solubility to the biotinylated molecule, helping to prevent aggregation of biotinylated antibodies stored in solution
- Irreversible - forms permanent amide bonds; spacer arm cannot be cleaved
- Long reach - spacer arm (total length added to target) is 29 angstroms; this reduces steric hindrance when binding to avidin molecules

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
The EZ-Link NHS-SS-PEG4-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 No-Weigh product format, where small amounts of reagent are pre-weighed and packaged separately, prevents the contamination and loss of reagent reactivity over time associated with repetitive opening and closing of a single vial. This format enables use of a fresh vial of reagent each time and eliminates the hassle of weighing out small amounts of reagent.
