(3-Aminopropyl)triethoxysilane, 98% - FAQs

What is the protocol for coating (3-Aminopropyl)triethoxysilane, 98% (Cat. No. A10668.22, A10668.36, A10668.0E) on glass slides?

Here is the protocol for coating (3-Aminopropyl)triethoxysilane, 98% (Cat. No. A10668.22, A10668.36, A10668.0E) on a glass surface (amino silylation):

1. Thoroughly wash and dry the glass, silica, or quartz surface to be coated.
2. Prepare a 2% solution of (3-Aminopropyl)triethoxysilane, 98% in acetone, i.e., mix 1 part of (3-Aminopropyl)triethoxysilane, 98% with 49 parts of dry, i.e., water-free acetone. Prepare a volume that would be sufficient to immerse or cover the surface material.
3. Immerse the surface in the diluted reagent for 30 sec.
4. Rinse the surface with acetone.
5. Allow the surface to air-dry. The dried silylated surface may be stored for later use.
Note: Perform steps 2 and 3 in a fume hood.
