Properties
Description
NHS-chitosan, or chitosan-N-hydroxysuccinimide, is an investigational hybrid formed by attaching NHS esters to chitosan—a natural chitin-based polymer. This pairing merges chitosan's biodegradability with NHS's amine-reactive properties.
Form
Solid or viscous liquid
Impurities
No visible impurities to the naked eye.
Solubility
This product is soluble in most organic solvents, such as DCM, DMF, DMSO, and THF, and exhibits excellent solubility in water.
Stability
It is stable under its storage temperature.
Quality Level
Research level
Applications
Chitosan-N-hydroxysuccinimide can be used to simplify protein-polymer conjugation through NHS ester activation.
Storage
Store at -20°C, protect from light and moisture.
