HypoGel® 400 RAM

HypoGel®is a hydrophilic Gel®type resin which combines high capacities with good solvent compatibility. Glycol spacers with n = 5 or 10 EO units separate the reactive sites from the polystyrene matrix and modify the hydrophobic properties of the polystyrene backbone. Due to the spacer effect the functional group shows a higher mobility which results in higher kinetic rates and high resolution NMR spectra from immobilized compounds on the bead. The resin is compatible to a wide range of solvents and in contrast to polystyrene even polar solvents like methanol or ethanol can be used. These resins show high loading and a hydrophilicity between polystyrene and TentaGel®.This resin is functionalized with a modified Rink Amide linker and is ideal for the Fmoc SPPS of peptide amides. Cleavage from this support is achieved with 95% TFA to give peptide amides. This resin is recommended for the synthesis of short peptide amides (10 - 15 residues) .In this resin the glycol spacer contains 10 EO units which separate the reactive sites from the polystyrene matrix.
