Description
Azido-PEG8-hydrazide HCl salt serves as a water-soluble PEG linker that incorporates both an azide moiety and a hydrazide functional group. The hydrophilic PEG spacer improves solubility in aqueous environments. Similar to previous products mentioned, its azide functionality allows it to react with alkyne compounds like BCN or DBCO through click chemistry processes resulting in stable triazole formations.
Applications
It can be employed in the synthesis of antibody-drug conjugates for targeted cancer therapy. In the field of diagnostics, it can be used to modify biosensors for improved detection sensitivity and specificity.
