NHS-Activated Silver Nanoparticles
Cytodiagnostics NHS-activated Silver Nanoparticle Conjugation Kits have been optimized for high efficiency one-step conjugation of proteins and other primary amine-containing ligands to silver nanoparticles.
The kits contains ready-to-use pre-made mixtures. No activation or manipulation of the silver nanoparticles is required prior to conjugation, which often results in poor performing conjugates. Simply mix your protein with the pre-activated NHS ester silver nanoparticles supplied in the kit to generate your conjugate.Â
The precisely engineered silver surface coat on our NHS ester-activated silver nanoparticles results in high conjugation efficiency and stable conjugates while minimizing non-specific binding in your assay.
Features & Benefits of NHS-Activated Silver Nanoparticles
- Results in covalently bound ligand and more stable conjugate.
- Fast and convenient one-step conjugation reaction with no pre-activation requirements.
- Spacer between the silver nanoparticle surface and conjugated ligand minimizes effects on the tertiary protein structure, which can lead to poor performing conjugates, a common problem seen in conjugates prepared by passive adsorption.
- Precisely engineering surface coating that reduces non-specific protein binding in biological assays.
