NEXTERION® Thin-Film Nitrocellulose-Epoxy coating (NC)

SCHOTT AG · source

The NEXTERION® NC coating is a thin and transparent nitrocellulose coating, containing reactive epoxide-groups for covalent binding of biomolecules.

Product information

With a thickness of less than 200 nm, the coating is characterized by its transparency and low autofluorescence and an excellent surface uniformity. It exhibits high sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio and a large dynamic range especially at low probe concentration. The NC coating properties support small spot diameter and make the coating compatible with a variety of printing and detection methods. Produced in ISO class 5 clean room conditions using a standardized process and running a stringent quality control system, thin-film nitrocellulose-epoxy coated substrates are available in standard and custom formats.

Probe types

  • Antibodies and antibody fragments
  • Amino-modified oligonucleotides
  • Amino-linked glucans
  • Functional proteins such as peptides or receptors

Shelf life

Stable in the original sealed packaging at room temperature for up to 12 months.

Immobilization method

Binding via NC-mediated interactions and covalent binding via amine reactive chemistry (epoxy groups).
