SIZE EXCLUSION CHROMATOGRAPHY Low Pressure PLAIN & CROSSLINKED AGAROSE BEADS Agarose is a very inert polysaccharide which forms hydrophilic and high gel strength gels at low concentrations. Agarose beads are microspheres of agarose gels with different particle diameters and concentrations. Small spherical particles of agarose act as a porous gel to filter or separate a mixture of molecules according to their individual sizes. Due to the composition (easy to activate), the agarose beads may be prepared to bind biomolecules in a reversible or irreversible manner.
Plain and crosslinked agarose beads are used in Gel Filtration Chromatography (or Molecular Exclusion Chromatography) as well as for activating beads for biomolecule purification or immobilization. Plain and crosslinked agarose beads can also be used for activating processes, internal surface and to its composition (inert polysaccharide), agarose is an ideal medium for the preparation of activated beads. ABT offers a wide range of plain and crosslinked agarose beads with different agarose concentrations (2, 4, 6, 8 & 10%) in different particle size distributions Macro (150-350 µm), Standard (50-150 µm) and Fine (20-50 µm). • The widest range of different agarose concentrations.
• Excellent chemical and physical stability.

AFFINITY CHROMATOGRAPHY HIS-TAG PURIFICATION Purification of proteins is a vital part of modern research. Impure extracts generally contain a wide range of proteins with diverse biological functions and different chemistry, which need to be separated. Affinity Chromatography (IMAC) is the purification technique which is widely used. It is based on the interaction between certain superficial protein residues (histidines, cysteines and to a lesser extent tryptophans), with transition metal cations, forming chelates. These transition metals are bound through a chemical reaction to the agarose beads, giving the agarose an activation degree. ABT manufactures two types of chelating beads utilizing standard crosslinked beads and the new highly crosslinked Rapid RunTM beads.
- 12 -
The binding between the metal and the agarose bead is by means of the IDA. IDA crosslinked agarose resin consists of iminodiacetic acid groups ligated by stable ether linkages via a spacer arm. IDA is a tridentate chelating agent, covalently coupled to crosslinked agarose beads. This resin is loaded with a divalent metal (Ni2+, Cu2+, Zn2+ or Co2+). The resulting resin (ready to use) is ideal for rapid purifications of His-tagged proteins. In comparison with other chelating resins such as NTA-agarose, the IDA has three sites available for the interaction with metal ions, instead of the four with NTA. IDA resins are usually more easily regenerated allowing a better elution of the fused proteins bound with smaller concentrations of imidazole.
HIS-TAG PURIFICATION AFFINITY CHROMATOGRAPHY
The product range covers 4 different types of metal and two different densities of groups on the beads. The choice of resin depends on the objectives/priorities for each purification (binding capacity/selectivity) and the type of protein to be purified (easy or difficult to separate). The easiest strategy is to screen with the correct Test Kit, and decide on options based on both the protein and the purpose and objectives of the purification. The user can optimize the best recovery system by using the Test Kit approach. Once the user has chosen the best option, ABT offers further different product formats: • Bulk Resins
• Pre-Packed Columns
• Cartridges
Nickel & Cobalt are the most commonly used metal ion for IMAC purifications. Nickel/ Cobalt Rapid RunTM beads combine the advantages of the metal with the high flow rates of the Rapid RunTM resin. This product is excellent for large scale His-tagged protein purifications.

AFFINITY CHROMATOGRAPHY GST PURIFICATION Low Pressure GLUTATHIONE AGAROSE BEADS Purification of proteins is a vital part of research. Impure extracts generally contain a wide range of proteins with diverse biological functions and different chemistry, which need to be separated. Fusion proteins expressed from pGEX vectors contain a Glutathione S-transferase (GST) moiety and can therefore be purified to near homogeneity by affinity chromatography on glutathione (γ-glutamylcysteinylglicine) as a substrate to inactivate toxic small molecules via formation of mercapturic acid. Because the affinity of GST for its substrate is in the submillimolar range, immobilization of glutathione on an agarose matrix makes a highly efficient affinity chromatography resin.
Glutathione has been covalently linked for use in affinity purification of glutathioneS-transferase (GST) and GST fusion proteins. This product provides a one step purification method and permits rapid, mild and highly selective purifications of proteins containing glutathione binding sequences. Bound GST –fusion proteins are easily displaced from the resin by elution with buffers containing reduced glutathione. ABT offers the Glutathione beads with an agarose percentage type (4% Agarose). The product range covers 2 different formats depending on the application type. FORMAT

High Pressure GLYOXAL RAPID RUNTM AGAROSE BEADS Bulk Resins
Proteins and other molecules containing amino groups can be coupled directly to the resin. A typical application of Glyoxal Rapid RunTM is based on antigen-antibody interactions with monoclonal antibodies as ligands.
Glyoxal Rapid Run agarose beads is a pre-activated resin that combines the advantages of Glyoxal resins with the high flow and stability characteristics of our highly cross-linked beads. TM

For storage of the packed cartridge, Stop Plugs need be ordered separately (see accessories Cartridges). The packed volume depends on the type resin. As a guide, the packed volume should be 1.2 – 1.4 ml for agarose based spherical particles. The recommended packed volume is 1.3 ml for Rapid RunTM Fine Resins from ABT.
Note: After the chosen resin is packed in the cartridge, the cartridge can be readily stored and re-used many times. If longer bed height is needed, 3 cartridges can be inter-connected to give a final bed height of 10 cm. Larger amounts available on request.
