AziGrip4™ Amine
Amino-functionalized coatings are a key component in many established applications in the life sciences. Amine groups can for example be used for coupling RNA, DNA, proteins and other functional biomolecules to a substrate. Our AziGrip4™ Amine coating provide an increased amine surface density, improved accessibility of the amino-groups due to a spontaneously formed nano-roughness, and a dramatically higher stability compared to the currently used aminosilane coatings.
Coating description: AziGrip4™ Amine nanostructured surface
Substrate examples: glass, quartz, silicon wafers, polyolefins (COC and COP), (plasma-activated) polymers, metal oxides (Al2O3, Ta2O5, ITO, TiO2, ZrO2, Fe2O3)
Immobilization mechanism: Electrostatic adsorption followed by a UVC or temperature-induced cross-linking reaction
