Thermo Scientific™ Pierce™ Maleic Anhydride Activated Plates

Description

• Pierce Maleic Anhydride Activated Plates are useful for immobilizing peptides and other ligands that do not coat efficiently by passive adsorption
• Reaction of the maleic anhydride groups with primary amines (–NH 2 ) results in formation of amide bonds that are stable at neutral pH and above
• Acidic conditions hydrolyze the bond; therefore, coating reactions are best performed at pH 8 to 9, and the reacted plates are best used at pH greater than 7 for ELISA and other methods
• These Thermo Scientific Pierce Maleic Anhydride Activated 96-Well Plates are clear, 96-well plates that allow attachment of amine-containing peptides and other molecules to microplate wells for use in binding assays
• Features of Maleic Anhydride Activated Plates: • Spontaneously react with primary amines • A direct, simple approach to covalently attach molecules to the well surface of an EIA plate • Maleic anhydride maintains its integrity and availability for coupling for months under dry, room temperature conditions
