BioMag Plus - Model Carboxyl -Protein Coupling Kit
BioMag® and BioMag®Plus superparamagnetic microparticles are utilized in the magnetic separation of cells, organelles, proteins, immunoglobulins, nucleic acids, and many other types of molecules in biological and nonbiological systems. The irregular shape of BioMag® and BioMag®Plus affords a much greater surface area than that of the same size spherical particles. This large surface area results in high binding capacities, allowing efficient target capture with conservative use of particles. Additionally, their greater than 90% iron oxide content allows for faster magnetic separations, particularly on automated high throughput platforms.
BioMag® and BioMag®Plus particles are manufactured using the same process, though BioMag®Plus undergo additional processing for the size distribution. Additionally, all kits within this product line feature BioMag®Plus as the principle component.
BioMag®Plus Carboxyl particles offer a high level of carboxyl functionality on magnetically responsive particles. Typically, the carboxyl groups on the surface of the particles are activated by carbodiimide, allowing amine groups on proteins to be covalently attached.
Bangs offers the BioMag®Plus Carboxyl Protein Coupling Kit for covalently coupling proteins to BioMag®Plus superparamagnetic particles. The contents of the kit are sufficient for five coupling reactions. To use the kit for smaller or larger samples, adjust all volumes in a proportional manner.
