| Biotin-labeled oligonucleotides have become extremely popular in DNA capture and detection applications, ude to their very high sensitivity and strong, specific binding affinity with avidin and streptavidin proteins. Bioten-based detection methods are widely used by reserchers. Biotin labeling is compatible with PCR and most hybridization techniques. |

| Key Features of the Biotin Phosphoramidite |
|
| |
Behaves like any standard amidite on the DNA synthesizer |
| |
Readily soluble in acetonitrile |
| |
Biotin compound has a dimethozytrityl (DMT) - group on the ring structure, which allows coupling-yeild determination and trityl-selective purification |
| |
A long, water-compatible linker arm ensures maximum sensitivity |
| |
The labeled oligonucleotide is ready for use in most applications after the evaporation of ammonia. Standard procedures can be used if additional purification is required |
| |
Provides a couplin efficiency of 95% |
