EDC.HCl (1-Ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride) is a zero-length crosslinking reagent widely used in bioconjugation. Synthesized via quaternization of EDC, its molecular formula is C8H17N3O·HCl with CAS 25952-53-8. It activates carboxyl groups to form amine-reactive esters.
Store desiccated at -20°C to prevent hydrolysis. Handle with gloves in a fume hood as it causes skin and eye irritation. Not approved for direct human clinical use; strictly for laboratory research applications only.
