Thermo Scientific™ Pierce™ Sodium meta-Periodate
Description
Thermo Scientific™ Pierce Sodium meta-Periodate is a gentle oxidizing agent that effectively cleaves cis-diols in carbohydrate sugars to create reactive aldehydes, providing many uses relating to the study and detection of glycoproteins.
Highlights:
- Capable of the oxidation of cis-diols to aldehydes
- ACS reagent grade
- White, crystalline, free-flowing

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
A commonly used method for conjugating HRP to antibodies is by activation of the HRP using sodium meta-periodate (Cat no. 20504) to generate aldehydes. After the reaction, the HRP must be dialyzed to remove the meta-periodate; then the aldehydes on the HRP will react directly to the amine groups on the antibody. Alternatively, we offer activated HRP (Cat. No. 31488) as an alternative to avoid the periodate oxidation step to modify the HRP.
