Flamma® Fluors Isothiocyanate
BioActs offers a series of Flamma® Fluors isothiocyanates, which are moderately reactive but quite stable in water and most organic solvents. Isothiocyanates form reasonably stable thiourea linkage upon reaction with amines. Whereas labeling of protein with NHS esters can typically be done at pH 8.3, conjugation for isothiocyanates usually require pH above 9. This basic isothiocyanate labeling condition may be a factor for working with basic-environment tolerable biomolecules that DNA and most polysaccharides can be modified in a relatively basic pH.
