Synthesis of haptens

Service description

The haptens are molecules of small molecular weight, too small to induce an immune response and must be thus conjugated to a carrier molecule, generally a protein. Some haptens require modification before they can be coupled successfully to the carrier molecule. Therefore, each hapten is unique and requires various strategies for its functionalization, which start from the simple modification of a portion of the existing hapten to the complete synthesis of a new modified hapten. The hapten synthesis service includes: - Personalised design and development of the synthesis strategies and conjugation of the hapten which are adapted to the needs of the client. Selection of the adequate chemical structures for the preparation of the antigen - Hapten synthesis - Modification of the hapten and derivation - Conjugation of the haptens to HCH, KLH, BSA or other proteins or enzymes
