Thermo Scientific™ Pierce™ Sodium meta-Periodate

Thermo Scientific™ Pierce™ Sodium meta-Periodate

Thermo Scientific Pierce Sodium meta-Periodate is a gentle oxidizing agent that cleaves cis-diols in carbohydrate sugars to create amine-reactive aldehydes, providing many uses relating to the study and detection of glycoproteins.

Features

• Convert sugars in sialic acid and other glycosylation groups to reactive aldehydes
• Immobilize glycoproteins to a hydrazide-activated solid support
• Conjugate antibodies to glycoprotein enzymes, such as horseradish peroxidase
• Probe for cell-surface polysaccharides
• Detect carbohydrate-containing proteins using hydrazide-containing probes
