Applications
3-Sulfo-N-succinimidyl 4-(maleimidomethyl)cyclohexane-1-carboxylate sodium salt is a cross-linking reagent incorporating an extended spacer with amine and sulfhydryl reactivity. Typically, coupled initially to molecules containing primary amines by amide bonds buffered at pH 7.5 (6.5-8.5). Second coupling specific for molecules containing free sulfhydryl by thioether linkage buffered at pH 6.8 (6.5-7.0). Useful for preparation of enzyme immunoconjugates and hapten carrier molecule conjugates.

Solubility
Soluble in water (2.5 mg/ml) and dimethyl formamide.

Notes
Keep container tightly sealed. Store in cool, dry conditions in well sealed containers. Incompatible with oxidizing agents.
