Bis-dPEG®₉-NHS ester (QBD-10246)

Description

Bis-dPEG®9-NHS ester, product number QBD-10246, is a homobifunctional, amine-reactive, single molecular weight PEG crosslinker with a medium-length (31 atoms, 35.7 Å), discrete PEG (dPEG®) chain length. Each end of the chain terminates as the N-hydroxysuccinimidyl (NHS) ester of propionic acid. Several scientific publications describe the use of QBD-10246.

NHS esters react with free amines such as the ε-amines of lysine with an optimal pH range of 7.0 – 7.5. However, NHS esters can react with free amines with pH as low as 6.0. NHS esters are susceptible to hydrolysis in aqueous media. The hydrolysis rate of the ester increases with the pH.

Thus, we strongly discourage storing Bis-dPEG®9-NHS ester in water or aqueous buffer. Instead, we recommend that customers make new solutions of the product as needed, use them immediately, and discard unused solutions after use. If customers desire to store the product in solution, we recommend the use of a pure, anhydrous, water-miscible solvent such as dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAC), or N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF). DMSO, DMAC, or DMF can be dried chemically or by storing for a minimum of 24 hours over 3 Å molecular sieves. With DMF, use only fresh solvent as the compound decomposes over time to form free amines that will react with the NHS esters.
