Biotin NHS Product Description
Biotin-NHS (N-Hydroxysuccinimidobiotin) is a widely utilized amine reactive biotinylation reagent. NHS-biotin reacts efficiently and irreversibly with a wide range of compounds containing a primary amine (-NH2) residue, including proteins, antibodies and other biomolecules. This simple biotinylation compound is membrane permeable, making it well suited for intracellular protein labeling.
NHS-Biotin is uncharged and contains a short alkyl spacer arm, giving it limited water solubility. This compound should be dissolved in a molecular biology grade, anhydrous solvent, such as DMSO (CovaChem 18252) or DMF (CovaChem 18251), prior to addition to aqueous protein containing solutions.
