SepSphere™ Peptide Immobilization Kit via Carboxylic Acid

Product Description

CellMosaic® has designed this personalized peptide immobilization kit to work with peptides containing amino functional groups. All natural peptides have an N-terminal amino group that can react with carboxylic acid groups. If you have Lysine amino acids, the ε-amino group of lysine may also react.

If you prefer a site specific single-labeling strategy, please check your peptide sequence to make sure only one amino groups present in the peptide. N-terminal amino group can be acetylated during the SPPS to make it inert. You can also add a Lys group in the peptide to position your peptide on the agarose beads if you don't have any amino group.

This kit provides agarose beads derivatized with carboxylic acid functional groups (5-20 μmol COOH per mL of resin). Using the kit components, customers immobilize their amino containing peptide onto SepSphere™ agarose beads in one step following CellMosaic® standard protocol.

Key Features of this Immobilization Kit:

• Minimum requirement for immobilization set-up
• All reagents, buffers, and plasticwares are included 
• Modestly activated carboxylic acid agarose
• One step immobilization with very mild reaction conditions
• Easy preparation with air push mechanism for washing: less than 1 h hands-on time 
• Stable linkage (no leakage of the peptides from the resin under acid or base condition)
