Description

n-(6-Aminohexyl)-D-Gluconamide is a specialized bifunctional compound that combines a hydrophilic gluconamide moiety with a hydrophobic aminohexyl chain. This unique structure makes it a valuable linker and building block for the synthesis of targeted conjugates and functional materials. It is primarily utilized in advanced research and development within the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors. This product is essential for scientists and manufacturers requiring a high-purity, reactive intermediate for creating novel diagnostic or therapeutic agents.

Application

• Bioconjugation and Drug Delivery: Serves as a hydrophilic spacer or linker for attaching targeting ligands, drugs, or imaging agents to nanoparticles, polymers, or proteins.
• Surface Functionalization: Used to modify the surface properties of materials (e.g., polymers, silica, metals) to enhance biocompatibility, reduce non-specific binding, or introduce reactive groups.
• Affinity Chromatography: Can be immobilized on solid supports to create resins for the purification of biomolecules, leveraging its amino group for coupling.
• Synthesis of Smart Polymers: Acts as a monomer or cross-linker in the development of pH-responsive or biodegradable hydrogels for biomedical applications.
• Diagnostic Reagent Development: Employed in the design of enzyme substrates, fluorescent probes, or contrast agent conjugates for diagnostic assays.
• Catalyst and Enzyme Immobilization: Provides a stable linkage for attaching catalysts or enzymes to solid supports, facilitating their recovery and reuse.

Quality Control

Our n-(6-Aminohexyl)-D-Gluconamide is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, NMR and IR for structural confirmation, and specific tests for residual solvents and moisture. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications and results is provided with every shipment to ensure full traceability and compliance with your research or cGMP starting material requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at 2-8°C for long-term stability. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container should be kept sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent moisture uptake and degradation.
