Thermo Scientific™ CA(PEG)4 Carboxy-PEG-Amine Compound

Description

• Thermo Scientific™ Pierce CA(PEG)n Compounds are pegylated amino acids of the form carboxy-PEG-amine, where n equals 4 to 24 polyethylene glycol units, and are useful for a variety of surface- and molecule-pegylation applications
• CA(PEG)n is the abbreviation for a set of compounds having polyethylene glycol (PEG) spacers with carboxy (-COOH) and amino (-NH2) termini
• The unbranched, hydrophilic, discrete-length molecules have the form Carboxy-PEGn-Amine, where the subscript “n” denotes 4, 8, 12, or 24 ethylene glycol units
• The carboxyl and primary amine of each compound provide specific targets for crosslinking and other conjugation methods, making these compounds useful as PEGylation reagents
• Highlights: Fully characterized PEGylation reagents with defined PEG chain lengths; molecules of discrete molecular weight for consistency of performance in protein-modification applications Provided as a series of 4, 8, 12 and 24 ethylene glycol units, enabling modification procedures to be optimized for a specific application while retaining all the benefits associated with protein PEGylation PEG spacer provides unique advantages, including increased stability, reduced tendency toward aggregation and reduced immunogenicity Allows site-specific labeling or crosslinking involving primary amines or carboxyl groups on proteins or surfaces Easy-to-follow instructions increase the likelihood of a successful outcome Ordering Information: Alternative names: Amino-dPEG-acid; Amino-PEG-carboxylic acid; Carboxy-PEO-amine Compatible with: Methyl-PEG-Amine Compounds, MA(PEG)n; Other Kinds of PEGylation Reagents
