Thermo Scientific™ Pierce™ APTS (3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane)

Description

• Thermo Scientific™ Pierce APTS (3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane) is a silylation reagent for coating glass and silica surfaces to add primary amines, which can be used to crosslink and immobilize proteins and other molecules
• APTS (3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane) is a surface treatment reagent used to chemically couple various ligands to glass or silica surfaces such as glass slides
• 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane is first coupled to glass or silica through the silane
• Compounds of interest are then coupled to the newly added amino groups directly, or additional chemistries are applied using the amino function prior to coupling
• Highlights: Crosslinking agents such as BS3, EDC and Sulfo-SMCC can be used to immobilize proteins, peptides, modified DNA, etc., to the treated surface Coats certain plastic surfaces noncovalently to create a reactive film Chemically adheres tissue sections to glass slides for immunohistochemistry
