The Melon™ gel chromatography cartridge is a convenient, ready to use prepacked chromatography column for the isolation and purification of antibodies. Store at 4 to 8 ˚C. Do not freeze.

• IgG purification with Melon Gel Resin does not involve binding, washing, and multiple elution steps required by Protein A and Protein G
• Antibody purification from serum is four to six times faster than Protein A or G methods
• For many species of serum antibody recovery is greater than 90% with purity greater than 80%
• Reduced need to concentrate antibody before storage or use
• No harsh antibody elution conditions helps retain IgG activity
• Melon™ Gel Resin can be used for multiple antibody purifications

Melon™ Gel IgG Purification Resin offers a simpler and faster alternative to traditional Protein A and Protein G methods for purification of human, mouse and rabbit IgG from serum and other sources.

These cartridges are compatible with major automated liquid-chromatography systems or manual syringe processing, and attach directly to ÄKTA™ or FPLC Systems without additional connectors. These cartridges provide fast, easy and reproducible chromatographic separations and can be regenerated for multiple uses.

Melon™ Gel IgG Purification saves time compared to classical Protein A or Protein G methods without compromising the quality of the antibody. Compared to antibody affinity purification with Protein A or Protein G, Melon™ Gel IgG Purification is simpler, faster and provides greater yields and higher purity for a wider variety of antibodies species. Its purification resin enables purification of antibodies from serum and other sample types. Its resin binds and removes serum proteins, thereby allowing pure IgG to be collected in the flow-through fraction. The procedure is gentle because no harsh elution conditions are involved.

It binds and removes serum proteins, thereby allowing pure IgG to be collected in the flow-through fraction. The resin contains a proprietary ligand that retains most protein found in serum, ascites and culture supernatants, while allowing IgG to pass through the support and be collected.
