A heterobifunctional cross-linking reagent with amine and sulfhydryl reactivity. Typically, coupled initially to molecules containing primary amines by amide bonds buffered at pH 7.5 (6.5-8.5). Second coupling specific for molecules containing free sulfhydryl by thioether linkage buffered at pH 6.8 (6.5-7.0). Useful for preparation of enzyme immunoconjugates and hapten carrier molecule conjugates. Provides a 7-atom linker.

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) have been proposed to be an active source of metastasis or recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The enumeration and characterization of CTCs has important clinical significance in recurrence prediction and treatment monitoring in HCC patients. We
We modified gold arrays with a glutathione (GSH) surface, and investigated high-throughput protein interactions with a spectral surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor. We fabricated the GSH exterior on gold surfaces by successive modification with aminoethanethiol, 4-maleimidobutyric acid N-hydroxysuccinimide ester and
Photodynamic therapy, a procedure that uses a photosensitizer to enable light therapy selectively at diseased sites, remains underutilized in oncological clinic. To further improve its cancer selectivity, we developed a polymeric nanosystem by conjugating a photosensitizer IRDye 700DX (IR700) and

The specific recognition between monoclonal antibody (anti-human prostate-specific antigen, anti-hPSA) and its antigen (human prostate-specific antigen, hPSA) has promising applications in prostate cancer diagnostics and other biosensor applications. However, because of steric constraints associated with interfacial packing and molecular orientations
Silicon-based implantable neural electrode arrays are known to experience failure during long-term recording, partially due to host tissue responses. Surface modification and immobilization of biomolecules may provide a means to improve their biocompatibility and integration within the host brain tissue.
Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
