General description

8-Amino-1-octanethiol hydrochloride (8-AOT) is an amine based alkanethiol that can be used as a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) on a variety of surfaces. It facilitates the immobilization of surface atoms and controls the physiochemical properties of the substrate.

Application

8-AOT can be used in the surface functionalization of gold electrodes for the trace analysis of oligonucleotide using poly nucleic acid (PNA) based ion-channel sensors. It can be used in the fabrication of peptide microarray for surface plasmon resonance based screening of protein kinase activity.
Self Assembly Molecules (SAMs); the amino group is usually modified using amine-reactive materials; such as proteins or biomaterials; to functionalize the gold surface. It is used for biosenors with large amounts of immobilized protein and suppression of nonspecific adsorption
