Azido-dPEG®₈-NHS ester

Azido-dPEG®8-NHS ester, product number 10503, is a water-soluble crosslinker used for click chemistry. This product contains an azide group linked to an N-hydroxysuccinimidyl (NHS) ester through a single molecular weight, discrete polyethylene glycol (dPEG®) spacer. Azido-dPEG®8-NHS ester works with copper(I)-catalyzed or ruthenium-catalyzed click chemistry and with copper-free click chemistry using Quanta BioDesign's line of DBCO-functionalized dPEG® products. The dPEG® spacer imparts water solubility and adds hydrodynamic volume to the conjugated product. The single molecular weight product design, with its discrete chain length, simplifies the analysis of this product.

dPEG® Products are a Better Type of PEG
Oursingle molecular weight, discrete chain length PEG (dPEG®) products are a superior alternative to traditional polyethylene glycol products. Conventional PEGylation reagents consist of a complex mixture of different chain lengths due to the polymerization processes that form them. In contrast, each of Quanta BioDesign's dPEG® products contain a discrete chain length of PEG with only one molecular weight. Conjugates made with dPEG® products have less complicated analyses compared to conjugates prepared with traditional PEGylation reagents.
