N-Hydroxysulfosuccinimide sodium salt, 97%, Thermo Scientific Chemicals

N-Hydroxysulfosuccinimide sodium salt is used as crosslinking agents for preparing hydrophilic active esters. It is also used to activate carboxylic acids to the more reactive succinimidyl esters for coupling, biotinylation and conjugation with fluorophores. Further, it acts as a hydrophilic ligand and also used in covalently binding proteins to carboxyl containing beads, resins, other nanoparticles. It is involved in the conversion of carboxyl groups to primary amine-reactive sulfo-NHS esters.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
