Application

EDC is often used in primary amine preparation When ammonia is used as carboxyl activator. EDC can also be used to activate phosphoric acid groups. This carbodiimide is usually used for peptide synthesis; cross-linking of proteins and nucleic acids and preparation of immunoconjugates. EDC is often used in combination with N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) or sulfonated-NHS to increase the efficiency of the coupling reaction.
