Vector Laboratories is closed for the President’s Day on Monday, February 19th. We will be back in the office on Tuesday, February 20th.
We will respond to emails upon our return. Have a wonderful day.
Biotin-dPEG®12-DBCO, product number QBD-11811, is a click chemistry biotinylation reagent built on a medium-length (40 atoms, 46.3 Å) single molecular weight PEG linker with a discrete chain length (dPEG®) and functionalized with dibenzylcyclooctyne (DBCO) for strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition (SPAAC), also known as “copper-free click chemistry.” The DBCO functional group reacts with any available azide moiety on a target molecule via SPAAC. The amphiphilic dPEG® spacer imparts water solubility to the biotin label, reducing non-specific hydrophobic interactions and reducing or eliminating concerns over aggregation and precipitation due to biotin’s well-known hydrophobicity. Because the hydrophilic dPEG® linker is longer than the classic, hydrophobic LC-LC-biotin, the biotin moiety has potentially better access to the binding pockets of avidin and streptavidin. Peptide and protein modification can be used to introduce suitable azide partners for this biotin labeling compound.

Storage and handling | -20°C; Always let come to room temperature before opening; be careful to limit exposure to moisture and restore under an inert atmosphere; stock solutions can be prepared with dry solvent and kept for several days (freeze when not in use). dPEG® pegylation compounds are generally hygroscopic and should be treated as such. This will be less noticeable with liquids, but the solids will become tacky and difficult to manipulate, if care is not taken to minimize air exposure. |
