Biotinylated Polyphosphate, Long Chain (p700)
This polyphosphate (Long Chain, Biotinylated) is heterogeneous in size, with approximate polymer lengths ranging from ~200-1300 phosphate units.
Highlights
- Contains biotin covalently attached to one or both of the terminal phosphates of the polyphosphate chain
- Can be immobilized on streptavidin-coated multiwell plates or beads for binding studies of proteins to polyphosphate
Polyphosphate, a linear polymer of inorganic orthophosphate, which is widespread in living organisms and which plays diverse roles in biology, has recently been shown to be a potent modulator of the human blood clotting system. Its procoagulant activity is dependent on polymer length; this high MW polyphosphate preparation has very high specific activity in plasma clotting assays.
In addition to being a useful tool for plasma clotting assays, polyphosphate is can be used to study bacterial growth, virulence, and bacterial membrane function.
Also available:
- Polyphosphate, Medium Chain (p100)
- Polyphosphate, Long Chain (p700)
- Biotinylated Polyphosphate, Medium Chain (p100)

| Comments: | It is recommended to use ~10.2 ug of the biotin-polyphosphate to coat all wells of a streptavidin-coated 96-well plate. |
| Storage: |
Dry material should be stored at room temperature (or lower) with dessication. Once reconstituted: - Stable at least 12 hours at room temperature - Stable at least 72 hours at 4C - Store long-term at -80C - Aliquot for repeated use, avoiding repeated freeze-thaw cycles - Do not store in the presence of divalent metal ions |
| Shipped: | Ambient temperature |
Size Distribution
Polyphosphate has limited solubility in the presence of divalent metal ions, so make intermediate dilutions in water, or in buffers without divalent metals or polyphosphate-binding proteins.
Reconstitution:
1 - Centrifuge tube 1 min at 1000 x g to pellet material in bottom of tube.
2 - Reconstitute in 118 µL purified water to make a solution of 10 mM phosphate.
NOTE: May be reconstituted in larger volumes to make a more dilute solution as needed.
