Proteus Antibody and His-Tagged Protein Purification Kits

AbD Serotecs Proteus Purification Kits combine the separation quality of gravity flow columns with the speed and ease-of-use of spin columns. Unique StableFloTM technology regulates sample movement through the special affinity resin matrix, increasing both purity and yield. For maximum convenience, each Proteus Kit contains pre-packed Spin Columns, ultrafiltration units, and ready-to-use buffers.

Proteus IMAC Kits are designed for simple, complete and rapid His-tagged recombinant purification from bacterial cells, insect vectors, mammalian cells and yeast under native or denaturing conditions. Likewise Proteus Protein A and G Kits are perfect for preparative purification of antibodies. All Kits are available in MIDI and MINI size formats.

MINI Spin Columns can be used with a standard bench centrifuge yielding typically 1 mg of antibody or protein in just 20 minutes. MIDI Kits are suitable for large-scale preps of 20 mg. A special Proteus Pump Collar accessory can be fitted onto MIDI Spin Columns for convenient hands-free loading of large sample volumes.

Proteus Kits offer distinct innovations over existing purification technologies. These include ready-to-use resin cartridges pre-packed with wet soft agarose that are stable for at least two years; minimal preparation time needed to make working solutions of Kit buffers; and simple protocols making Proteus ideal for inexperienced chromatography researchers.
