Capabilities & Facilities
DOTA-NHS-ester, a versatile bifunctional chelating agent, finds widespread use in the biosciences, particularly in imaging and therapeutic realms. Explore its key applications:
Radioisotope Labeling: Delving into diagnostic imaging, DOTA-NHS-ester plays a pivotal role in creating radio-labeled biomolecules. By linking it to proteins, peptides, or antibodies, researchers can effectively bind metal radioisotopes for PET and SPECT imaging. This method enables precise localization and imaging of tumors, inflammation, or other pathological conditions in clinical diagnostics.
Theranostics: In the dynamic field of theranostics, DOTA-NHS-ester serves as a crucial component in generating conjugates that can both diagnose and treat diseases. Through its attachment to therapeutic molecules and labeling with therapeutic radioisotopes, targeted radionuclide therapy becomes a reality. This dual-action capability allows for real-time monitoring and treatment of diseases, significantly enhancing patient outcomes and treatment effectiveness.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): Transcending conventional imaging techniques, DOTA-NHS-ester can be linked to gadolinium, a well-known MRI contrast agent, to elevate the quality of imaging results. By binding DOTA-NHS-ester to targeting molecules like cancer-specific peptides, more detailed and precise MRI scans can be achieved. This advanced imaging strategy is essential for accurate disease diagnosis and monitoring, pushing the boundaries of medical diagnostics.
Protein and Peptide Conjugation: Expanding its utility beyond imaging, DOTA-NHS-ester is instrumental in the conjugation of proteins and peptides for diverse research endeavors. This application facilitates the exploration of protein-protein interactions and aids in the delivery of therapeutic agents within cells, fostering advancements in drug development and various biomedical research initiatives.

Dear team, how does DOTA-NHS-ester enable metal chelation in ADCs?
After conjugation to an antibody, the DOTA moiety binds metal ions such as indium or lutetium. This allows the ADC to be used for targeted imaging or radiotherapy applications without interfering with antibody binding or payload function.
10/11/2022
Dear team, which payloads are compatible with DOTA-NHS-ester?
It can conjugate amine-containing cytotoxins, peptides, and imaging agents. The NHS ester ensures stable covalent attachment, and the DOTA chelator enables incorporation of radiometals for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes.
29/8/2016
Good afternoon! Could you kindly let me know the recommended conjugation conditions for DOTA-NHS-ester?
Conjugation is performed in slightly basic aqueous buffers (pH 7–8.5) under controlled temperatures to maximize NHS ester reactivity while preventing hydrolysis and preserving antibody structure and chelator functionality.
26/8/2018
Good morning! How should DOTA-NHS-ester be stored to preserve its stability for long-term use?
DOTA-NHS-ester should be stored at low temperature, in a dry, light-protected container, ideally under inert atmosphere. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles to maintain chemical integrity. Handling instructions and stability recommendations are provided in the product datasheet.
