Introduction

1-Ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide Hydrochloride (

EDC HCl


) is a widely used water-soluble carbodiimide reagent employed in peptide synthesis, protein conjugation, and organic transformations. Known for its efficiency and compatibility with aqueous environments, EDC HCl plays a crucial role in amide bond formation, especially in zero-length crosslinking reactions.

Chemical Identity

Chemical Name: 1-Ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide Hydrochloride

Abbreviation: EDC HCl

Molecular Formula: C8H17N3·HCl

Molecular Weight: 191.70 g/mol

CAS Number: 25952-53-8

Appearance: White to off-white crystalline powder

Solubility: Highly soluble in water and polar organic solvents (DMF, DMSO)

Key Applications of EDC HCl

1. Peptide Synthesis

EDC HCl is extensively used to form amide bonds between carboxyl and amine groups in peptide coupling, particularly in solution-phase and solid-phase synthesis.

2. Protein and Antibody Crosslinking

Acts as a zero-length crosslinker in bioconjugation, enabling direct coupling of proteins or peptides to other biomolecules or surfaces.

3. DNA and RNA Labeling

EDC HCl activates carboxyl-modified oligonucleotides, allowing for labeling and immobilization on various matrices.

4. Biomaterials Functionalization

Widely used to modify surfaces of hydrogels, nanoparticles, and polymer scaffolds by coupling bioactive ligands or peptides.

5. Carboxyl Activation in Organic Chemistry

Ideal for coupling reactions in the synthesis of esters, amides, and other carboxylic acid derivatives.

Advantages of EDC HCl

Water-soluble and compatible with biological systems

Produces minimal by-products (urea derivatives)

Efficient at neutral to slightly acidic pH (4.5–7.5)

Does not introduce spacer atoms (zero-length)

Stable and easy to handle under ambient conditions

Handling and Storage

Store in a cool, dry place, away from moisture

Use with gloves and eye protection in a fume hood

Avoid prolonged exposure to air or moisture to maintain stability

Dispose of waste following local chemical safety guidelines

Packaging and Availability

Available in multiple pack sizes:

Laboratory Scale: 1g, 5g, 10g, 25g

Bulk Supply: 100g, 500g, 1kg, 5kg, 25kg fiber drums

Each batch is accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).

Conclusion

EDC HCl is a high-efficiency coupling reagent used in both research and industrial applications. Its versatility in bioconjugation, peptide synthesis, and surface modification makes it an indispensable tool in life sciences, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical development.
