Synonyms : NHS-Biotin; Biotinyl-N-hydroxy-succinimide

Applications : NHS-Biotin is the most efficient biotinylation reagent with primary amino groups in alkaline buffers to form stable amide bonds. Biiotinylation of antibodies, proteins and any other primary amine-containing biomolecules in solution. NHS-Biotin compound is membrane-permeable and useful for intracellular labeling as well as optimizing labeling and detection experiments where steric hindrance of biotin binding is an important factor.
