SHNH (Succinimidyl 6-hydraziniumnicotinate hydrochloride) is used to incorporate HyNic (6-hydrazinonicotinamide) linkers on proteins, peptides and other amine-containing molecules for Technetium-99m (Tc-99m) labeling. SHNH is a bifunctional linker that incorporates HyNic through amino groups on biomolecules via an NHS ester. HyNic groups were initially developed to link Tc-99m to peptides and proteins for in vivo imaging. This procedure is still used in tens of millions of medical diagnostic procedures annually, making it the most commonly used medical radioisotope.
SHNH is an bifunctional aromatic hydrazine linker used to incorporate HyNic (6-hydrazinonicotinamide) linkers onto biomolecules through their amino group via an activated ester (i.e. NHS; Figure 1). HyNic groups were developed to link Tc-99m to proteins for in vivo imaging.

The number of HyNic linkers incorporated on biomolecules can be quantified colorimetrically on reaction with 2-sulfobenzaldehyde (catalog number S-2005-100). The product yields a chromophore that absorbs at A350 with a molar extinction coefficient of 28,500 L/(mol*cm).
