Biotin, also known as Vitamin H or B7 is an important cofactor responsible for carbon dioxide transfer in several carboxylase enzyme reactions. This product will replace our current version of tritiated biotin, NET721 in late 2012.

Biotin, also known as Vitamin H or B7, is a water-soluble vitamin that helps convert food into energy. In addition to this, it also influences cell growth, affects amino acids involved in protein synthesis, and is involved in various metabolic reactions involved in the transfer of carbon dioxide.
Biotin is widely used to conjugate proteins in biochemical assays. Proteins of interest are biotinylated and the high affinity of biotin for streptavidin is exploited as the target molecular interaction for these biochemical assays. This approach is especially advantageous in the research of biosensors and cell sorting.
