Ferrocene-C6: Non-Activated Redox Label with C6 Linker for Electroactive Bioconjugation
Ferrocene-amidopentyl carboxylic acid (Ferrocene-C6) is a non-activated ferrocene derivative featuring a six-carbon linker, designed for electroactive labeling of biomolecules. This reagent enables covalent attachment to proteins and alkylamino-modified nucleic acids and is widely used in biosensor and redox-sensitive applications. Ferrocene’s excellent and validated electrochemical properties make it a reliable and effective redox marker.
