Peptide Coating Kit

Generally, low molecular weight peptides and synthetic peptides do not spontaneously attach to 96-well microtiter ELISA plates. The Peptide Coating Kit is designed to allow optimal peptide plate coating onto 96-well plates. The Peptide Coating Kit also includes reaction buffer, 96-well microplates, and blocking solution designed specifically for subsequent ELISA.

Principle

The free carboxyl groups of peptides used for plate coating can be covalently linked via reaction with the water-soluble peptide coupling reagent l-ethyl-3-(3-(dimethylamino)-propy1)carbodiimide (EDC). These peptides can subsequently be linked to amino groups that are attached to the surface of microtiter plate wells. The end result is a population of peptides directly coating the surface of the microtiter plate via peptide bonds.
