Thermo Scientific™ Pierce™ Premium Grade EDC (1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride)

Description

• Description Optimize applications where product integrity and risk minimization are paramount with the specially characterized Thermo ScientificTM PierceTM Premium Grade EDC, our highest quality formulation of this popular carbodiimide crosslinker
• The highest quality formulation of this popular carbodiimide crosslinker, specially characterized for applications where product integrity and risk minimization are paramount Compared to the standard grade product, Premium Grade EDC provides more clearly defined quality and product support A water-soluble carbodiimide crosslinker that activates carboxyl groups for spontaneous reaction with primary amines, enabling peptide immobilization and hapten-carrier protein conjugation In the presence of N -hydroxysulfosuccinimide (sulfo-NHS), EDC can be used to convert carboxyl groups to amine-reactive sulfo-NHS esters Store dessicated at -20°C Features of Premium Grade EDC High quality – identity and purity confirmed by several tests Product integrity – enhanced level of testing and characterization compared to standard grade Lot retention – ample supply of past lots retained to ensure future process testing Change management – Change Control Notification (CCN) service Consistent manufacture – batch-specific manufacturing documentation review Applications Conjugate carboxyl and amino groups among peptides and proteins Couple haptens to immunogenic carrier proteins Immobilize peptide antigens to affinity-purify antibodies Create NHS-activated, amine-reactive labeling compounds Crosslink proteins to carboxyl coated beads or surfaces Activate nanoparticles with amine-reactive sulfo-NHS esters
