3-Aminopropyltriethoxysilane
Based on 2 publication(s) in Google Scholar
3-Aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) acts as a strong glue to immobilize biomolecules such as antibodies and enzymes to silicon and silicon derivatives such as silicon nitride (Si3N4 )) on. 3-Aminopropyltriethoxysilane also acts as a spacer, providing biomolecules with more spatial freedom during immobilization for higher specific activity. 3-Aminopropyltriethoxysilane can form a more stable, sensitive, and highly biocompatible bioanalytical platform by immobilizing biomolecules onto some solid materials, electrode materials, nanomaterials, and nanocomposites.
