  • Sulfonated analog of EMCS has improved solubility in aqueous buffer systems
  • Sulfo-NHS ester end couples with primary amines at pH 7-9 to form stable amide bonds
  • Maleimide reacts with -SH groups at pH 6.5-7.5, forming stable thioether linkages
  • Non-cleavable
  • Increased sphere of coupling vs. Sulfo-GMBS
  • Aliphatic spacer offers low potential for eliciting an immune response
  • Reactive groups: maleimide and Sulfo-NHS ester
  • Reactive toward: sulfhydryl and amino groups
