What are the features of the secondary amine CovaLink surface?
CovaLink NH Modules are surface modified optically clear polystyrene modules in strips of eight. They allow covalent binding of distinct groups of proteins, peptides, oligosaccharides and DNA. This covalent-binding feature allows orientation of the bound molecules such that the active site of the molecule is available for biochemical activity. A key feature of the CovaLink is that the polystyrene surface is grafted with secondary amino groups which serve as bridges for covalent binding. The optically clear surface allows reading of fluorescent or colorimetric signals.
