N-(Amino-PEG1)-N-bis(PEG2-propargyl) HCl salt is a crosslinker consisting of an amino group with two propargyl groups. The amino group is reactive with carboxylic acids, activated NHS esters, carbonyls (ketone, aldehyde) etc. The propargyl groups can form triazole linkage with azide-bearing compounds or biomolecules via copper catalyzed Click Chemistry.

Attogene’ s Cylindrospermopsin Lateral Flow Kit can be used to detect Cylindrospermopsin in source water samples.
Format: Rapid-Water – Run Time: 30 Minutes, enough to run two samples at 10 and 100 fold dilutions and two negative controls.
Cylindrospermopsin (CYN) is a potent cyanotoxin synthesized by select species of cyanobacteria, prominently including Cylindrospermopsin raciborskii. It belongs to the tricyclic alkaloid class, exhibiting a molecular weight of approximately 415 Da. Structurally, cylindrospermopsin features an uracil ring fused with a hydantoin moiety, alongside a guanidino group, attributes that render it highly soluble and polar in aqueous environments.
Cylindrospermopsin is notorious for its profound toxicity towards aquatic organisms and its potential threat to human health through exposure via contaminated water and food sources. Consequently, rigorous monitoring protocols are essential in regions prone to cyanobacterial blooms, where cylindrospermopsin can accumulate in freshwater reservoirs and other aquatic habitats. In recognition of these risks, regulatory bodies such as the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have implemented an action level guideline. As of 2019, EPA 10-day drinking water health advisory for cylindrospermopsin recommended a threshold of 0.7 parts per billion (ppb), or 700 parts per trillion (ppt) for children under the age of six, and 3 parts per billion, 3000 parts per trillion for anyone older, to effectively manage cylindrospermopsin levels. This precautionary measure aims to uphold both environmental sustainability and public health integrity by minimizing exposure risks. The EPA has also drafted a human health recreational water quality criterion to protect human health at 8,000ppt.
EPA 10-Day drinking water Health Advisories for Cylindrospermopsin:
Do not Drink – 0.7 μg/L for bottle fed infants and preschool children, pregnant and nursing woman, elderly immunocompromised and liver conditions
Do not Drink – 3.0 μg/L for school age children to adults
Do Not Use – 20 μg/L
EPA Draft Human Health Recreational Ambient Water Quality Criteria to protect human health: 8 μg/L

Propargyl-PEG8-acid has an alkyne group and an acid group. The acid group can derivatize amine-containing molecules in the presence of activators such as EDC or HATU. The alkyne group can react with azides via copper catalyzed Click Chemistry reactions. The PEG units help increase the solubility of the molecule in aqueous environment. Reagent grade, for research purpose. Please contact us for GMP-grade inquiries.

DNA Concentrator (Magnetic Beads)
The DNA Concentrator (Magnetic Beads) can be used to efficiently concentrate DNA/RNA from various samples with low concentration without the need of a DNA vacuum concentrator. Solid Phase Reversible Immobilization (SPRI) magnetic beads are well used for DNA and RNA purification and concentration. The beads are paramagnetic particles coated with carboxyl groups that reversibly bind to DNA and RNA.
The concentrator protocol is simple: mix Concentrator Buffer and Concentrator Beads with the sample, wash, and elute pure DNA in a small volume to concentrate the DNA samples. Moreover, the DNA/RNA samples are also purified during the procedure. The beads with our unique technology purify DNA/RNA samples effectively by removing unwanted components such as dNTPs, enzymes, detergents, proteins, and other contaminants.
However, traditional magnetic beads can only bind nucleic acids that are 100 bp or longer. Nucleic acids shorter than 100 bp are not effectively recovered. We have successfully developed the kit that overcomes the hurdle of short nucleic acids recovery. The reagent can be used for concentration of samples from genomic DNA to short DNA/RNA.
