DSPE-PEG5000-IA
DSPE-PEG5000-IA is a cyclooctyne containing phospholipid PEG polymer. The polymer can self-assemble spontaneously in water to form micelles/lipid bilayer. It can be used to prepare nanoparticles or liposomes as drug carrier in targeted drug delivery system. The DBCO can react with azide molecule via copper free click chemistry to form a stable triazole bond.

EdU Incorporation Assay (Click Chemistry-Based DNA Synthesis Measurement)
The EdU incorporation assay measures DNA synthesis by adding the thymidine analog 5-ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine to cells or tissues, where it is incorporated into newly synthesized DNA during S phase. Incorporated EdU is detected by copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition, in which a fluorescent azide covalently reacts with the ethynyl group on EdU, allowing S-phase cells to be detected by fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, or high-content imaging. EdU detection does not require DNA denaturation or anti-BrdU antibody access, which preserves sample structure and improves compatibility with immunostaining and multiparameter cytometry compared with BrdU-based detection. EdU can be cytotoxic in a cell-type- and exposure-dependent manner, so pulse duration, concentration, and continuous-labeling designs should be validated for each cell type.
