A cysteine protease enzyme (EC 3.4.22.2) immobilised on 4% agarose, cleaves Immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody molecules in the hinge region, generating three ~50 kDa fragments; two Fab domains and a Fc domain. The papain-digested antibody is unable to promote agglutination, precipitation, opsonisation, and lysis.

• Generate Fc and Fab from IgG
• Eliminates contamination with papain enzyme
• Can be used in virtually all scenarios using free papain
