Biotin Derivatives

Santa Cruz Biotechnology now offers a broad range of biotin derivatives for use in various applications. Biotin derivatives, which are chemically modified forms of biotin, have become indispensable tools in scientific research due to their strong affinity for streptavidin and avidin proteins. This high-affinity interaction is exploited in a variety of applications, including bioconjugation, labeling, and purification processes. In molecular biology, biotin derivatives are commonly used to label nucleic acids and proteins, facilitating their detection and isolation in experiments such as Western blotting, ELISA, and immunoprecipitation. These derivatives also play a critical role in developing biotin-streptavidin systems for affinity purification, which are essential for purifying proteins, nucleic acids, and other bioconjugates with high specificity and efficiency. In cell biology, biotinylated molecules are used to study cell surface interactions, receptor binding, and signal transduction pathways, providing insights into cellular mechanisms and functions. Environmental scientists utilize biotin derivatives in biosensor technologies to detect and quantify pollutants and other environmental contaminants, contributing to environmental monitoring and protection efforts. Additionally, in nanotechnology and materials science, biotin derivatives are employed to functionalize nanoparticles and other materials, enabling the development of advanced diagnostic tools and smart materials with tailored properties. By offering a diverse selection of biotin derivatives, Santa Cruz Biotechnology supports a wide range of scientific endeavors, enabling researchers to select the appropriate derivative for their specific experimental needs. This extensive range of biotin derivatives facilitates innovation and discovery across multiple scientific disciplines, including chemistry, biology, environmental science, and materials science.
