Crosslinked Agarose Beads

Agarose is a very inert polysaccharide that 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 its chemical structure (easy to activate), the agarose beads may be prepared to bind biomolecules in a reversible or irreversible manner.
Cross-linked agarose beads are used in gel filtration chromatography (or molecular exclusion chromatography) as well as for activating beads for biomolecule purification or immobilization.
Cross-linked agarose beads can also be used for activating processes, generating active groups inside its pores capable of reversible or irreversible biomolecule bonds. Due to the bead’s large internal surface and to its composition (inert polysaccharide), agarose is an ideal medium for the preparation of activated beads.

GoldBio’s new Highest Density Nickel Agarose is a high capacity resin manufactured with a polychelator ligand. The product was developed to work in the presence of EDTA and DTT without any loss of performance. Its specificity and stability allows a one-step purification, eliminating the need for pretreatment of samples that cause nickel stripping.

Our Highest Density Nickel Agarose is supplied as a suspension in 50% aqueous suspension containing 20% ethanol. Purifications can be performed using 20mM EDTA and 20mM DTT and can work in both native as well as denaturing conditions.
