Amine Quantum Dots
Amine Quantum Dots are a group of water soluble core/shell quantum dots with reactive group of amine, which allows covalent bond formation to antibodies, proteins, peptides or other biomolecules via primary amine, carboxy or thiol groups. Their surface is specifically engineered with a polymer coating for high binding capacity and low non-specific binding. Amine Quantum Dots are very stable in most buffer solutions in the pH range of 5-10.
Ocean NanoTech’s amine-terminated quantum dots, ranging from 425-665 nm, are now available in an easy-to-use kit format (QAK), allowing researchers to conjugate antibodies, proteins, peptides or other biomolecules of their own choice. The kit is used to specifically conjugate quantum dots and antibodies, proteins, peptides or other biomolecules with primary amine, carboxy or thiol groups with low non-specific binding. It contains Amine Quantum Dots and reagents sufficient for performing four (4) conjugation reactions. Briefly, the QDs are activated using SMCC (succinimidyl 4-(N-maleimidomethyl) cyclohexane-1-carboxylate), followed by conjugation to thiol groups that are present on the target protein/ligands such as bovine serum albumin, streptavidin and immunoglobulin.
