Thermo Scientific™ MA(PEG)24 Methyl-PEG-Amine Compound, 1 g

Thermo Scientific™ MA(PEG)24 Methyl-PEG-Amine Compound, 1 g

Thermo Scientific Pierce MA(PEG)24 is a methyl- and amine-terminated polyethylene glycol reagent that is useful for a variety of surface-modification and molecule-pegylation applications.

MA(PEG)n is the abbreviation for a set of compounds having polyethylene glycol (PEG) spacers and terminal methyl (-CH3) and amino (-NH2) groups. The unbranched, hydrophilic, discrete-length molecules have the form Methyl-PEGn-Amine, where the subscript 'n' denotes 4, 8, 12, or 24 ethylene glycol units. The terminal primary amine of each compound provides a specific target for crosslinking and other conjugation methods, making these compounds useful as PEGylation reagents.

Features

• Fully characterized PEGylation reagent with defined PEG chain length; discrete molecular weight for consistency of performance in protein-modification applications
• PEG spacer provides unique advantages, including increased stability, reduced tendency toward aggregation and reduced immunogenicity
• Allows site-specific labeling of primary amines or carboxyl groups on proteins or surfaces
• Easy-to-follow instructions increase the likelihood of a successful outcome
