Vivapure maxiprep MC spin columns are centrifugal devices for rapid purification of His-tagged recombinant proteins from cell lysates by metal chelate affinity chromatography
The pre-packed spin columns incorporate Ni2+-IDA agarose resin plugs as the chromatographic matrix
The rapid 1-2-3 bind-wash-elute protocol especially lends itself to screening applications, where many samples are processed in parallel
Vivapure maxiprep MC spin columns can conveniently be used in a centrifuge with swing-out rotor for standard 50 ml tubes
Binding capacity is about 10 mg His-tagged protein per unit
The low hold-up volume ensures high solute recovery with minimal loss by non-specific adsorption
Vivapure maxiprep MC spin columns can be re-used twice and are available as complete kits including buffers or as bulk packs.They are an attractive alternative to lengthy chromatographic methods such as FPLC
For processing larger sample volumes than 20 ml, e
g
from diluted cell culture supernatants, the Vivapure maxiprep spin columns can additionally be used with a sealing cap and pump collar for peristaltic pumps
Spin column based kit Devices are ready to use Rapid purification with high yields Parallel processing Cost effective through re-use option Starter kits available Processing of larger samples with peristaltic pump
