3-Maleimidopropionic acid N-hydroxysuccinimide ester is a reagent that is widely used for generating stable maleimide-activated carrier proteins that can spontaneously react with sulfhydryls. Alternatively these relatively stable maleimide-activated intermediates may be lyophilized and stored for later conjugation to a hapten.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
