Use of EDCI:

1, EDCI is a water-soluble carbodiimide, which is used as an activating reagent for carboxyl groups in amide synthesis, and also used to activate phosphate groups to cross-link protein with nucleic acids to prepare immunoconjugates. When used, the pH range is 4.0-6.0, and it is often used with N- hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) or N- hydroxythiosuccinimide to improve the coupling efficiency.

2. In organic chemistry, EDCI and catalyst 4- dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) are used for esterification of carboxylic acid and alcohol.
