NovaSyn^®TG amino resin (90 µm)

Color (visual): white to yellow to beige
Appearance of substance (visual): beads
Loading (determined from the substitution of the Fmoc-Leu loaded resin): 0.20 - 0.30 mmol/g
Swelling Volume (in CH₂Cl₂): lot specific result
The base resin ist PEG-PS copolymer (90µm), functionalised with an amino group.

NovaSyn TG resin is a composite of polyethylene glycol and a low-crosslinked polystyrene gel-type resin ^[1,2,3]. The 90 μm beads have a narrow size distribution, excellent pressure stability and swelling properties, and high diffusion rates, making them ideally suited for both batch or continuous flow peptide synthesis. Functionalized with an amino group, the resin can be readily derivatized with any carboxylic acid-containing linker using standard methods of amide bond formation. Furthermore, the excellent swelling properties in water of this support make it well suited to the preparation of peptide libraries.
