Thermo Scientific Pierce High Capacity Streptavidin Agarose is a beaded resin of immobilized recombinant streptavidin protein that binds biotinylated proteins at greater than 10 mg/mL of beads.

• Streptavidin—purified recombinant streptavidin protein (53kDa, near-neutral pI); tetrameric with four biotin-binding site per molecule
• Agarose resin—support is crosslinked 6% beaded agarose (CL-6B), the most popular resin for protein affinity purification methods
• Inert and stable—streptavidin is immobilized by charge-free, leach-resistant covalent bonds, resulting in low nonspecific binding and enabling multiple uses without decline in yield
• Two formats—available in several bottle sizes of resin slurry and as packed 1 mL and 5 mL chromatography cartridges

The agarose beads have physical and chemical properties that enable them to be used in a variety of batch- or column-type affinity procedures. Biotinylated antibodies, proteins, peptides, nucleic acids and other molecules or interaction complexes can be captured, immunoprecipitated, removed or purified from samples using this streptavidin resin.
