Properties
Description
This high-purity (≥95%) reagent features the fluorescent dye tetramethylrhodamine isothiocyanate (TRITC) conjugated to lactosyl via a 350 Da polyethylene glycol (PEG) spacer for fluorescent labeling and carbohydrate receptor binding studies.
Molecular Weight
PEG 350 Da
Source
Chemical synthesis
Solubility
TRITC-PEG-lactosyl is soluble in a wide range of organic solvents, such as DCM, DMF, and DMSO, and shows excellent solubility in water.
Identity
Confirmed by NMR.
Applications
TRITC-PEG-lactosyl with PEG 350 Da can be used in fluorescence microscopy and imaging studies as a fluorescent probe targeting lactosyl-receptor-expressing cells, benefiting from improved solubility.
