Thermo Scientific Pierce Ethylenediamine Dihydrochloride is a simple compound that can be used with EDC (carbodiimide) crosslinker to polymerize or amine-modify carboxylate molecules for a variety of applications.
Ethylenediamine Dihydrochloride is composed of two amines separated by a short hydrocarbon spacer. This versitle reagent is used for a variety of applications, including covalent modification of carboxylic acids to block the carboxylates and form terminal amino groups. Such amino groups can then be used for a variety of conjugation strategies. Furthermore, oligonucleotides can be amine-modified for labeling with biotin or fluorophores or immobilized onto a solid support using amine conjugation chemistries (see Tech Tip # 30).
Highlights:
- Amine-modify carboxylic acids using EDC
- Amine-modify aldehyde groups by reductive amination
- Amine-modify oligonucleotides using ethylenediamine, EDC and imidazole
