Acrylink PEG NHS
Water-Soluble AcX Alternative for Biomolecule Anchoring in Expansion Microscopy.
Acrylink PEG NHS is an advanced alternative to traditional AcX, designed to combine efficient amine-reactive chemistry with enhanced water solubility. Like AcX, it features an NHS ester for covalent reaction with primary amines and a polymerizable acrylate group for anchoring biomolecules into the hydrogel matrix. What sets Acrylink PEG NHS apart is its polyethylene glycol (PEG) backbone, which increases aqueous solubility, reduces aggregation, and improves diffusion into complex samples.
This makes Acrylink PEG NHS especially well-suited for dense tissues, thick sections, or samples with limited permeability, where standard AcX may underperform. By ensuring more uniform labeling and stronger biomolecule retention, it provides sharper, more consistent results in Expansion Microscopy workflows.
Key Features:
- AcX alternative with PEG backbone for improved solubility
- NHS ester for efficient amine coupling
- Acrylate group for strong hydrogel anchoring
- Better penetration and labeling uniformity in complex tissues
- Reliable biomolecule retention through gelation, digestion, and expansion
Available Sizes:
- Small – 1 mg
- Medium - 5 mg
- Large – 10 mg
