HydraLinK^TM is a novel bioconjugation system for the conjugation and immobilization of peptides, proteins, carbohydrates and DNA/RNA.
The technology is based on the reaction of a 2-hydrazinopyridyl moiety with a benzaldehyde moiety to yield a stable bis-aromatic hydrazone. The chemistry is highly selective, stable in solution and not susceptible to non-specific binding, making it superior to conventional methods of bioconjugation, such as maleimide/thiol and avidin/biotin.
