| TECHNIQUE NOTE |
Biopolymers and small molecules immobilized on solid support are important reagent-tools for biotech research. An antigen immobilized on a solid support, such as agarose bead, magnetic bead, or polymer bead is often used as affinity purification media. Immobilized antigen can also be used as a capture tool for protein/marker identification in drug discovery or as a diagnostic reagent in immunoassay. The development of techniques and methods for immobilization is essential for many biotechnological advancements.
Two types of solid supports are developed at CellMosaic
- Conventional hydrophilic agarose beads functionalized with cyanate esters or imidocarbonates (CNBr activated), amino, carboxylic acid, glyoxy, glutaldehyde, aminooxy, pyridyl disulfide, maleimide, or epoxide for the convenience of immobilization using the customer’s own compound
- Novel hydrophilic AqT™ coated beads.
Three Essential Components of a Successful Immobilization Kit
- Quality and stability of the functionalized beads - CellMosaic has tailored the loading capacity and stability of the agarose beads for each application.
- Chemistry design - CellMosaic’s kit comes with pre-made buffers with simple easy to follow direction.
- Immobilization workflow - We have developed a universal workflow and kit design that allows immobilization, washing of unreacted starting materials, and column packing all in one column with a simple set-up in any lab. The immobilization efficiency in the column is the same as if performed in a regular reaction vessel. The washing is performed with a simple manual air push mechanism using a syringe and requires no gas/air flow or vacuum. For more information, please click here.
CellMosaic currently provides the following SepSphere™ immobilization kit using agarose beads, and we are adding additional kits configurations as needed. Please inquire if you do not see your current configuration of interest listed or request a custom immobilization service if you are interested in using a solid support other than agarose beads.
