Antibody purification involves isolation of antibody from serum (polyclonal antibody), ascites fluid, or from the culture supernatant of a hybridoma cell line (monoclonal antibody). Protein A ligand is recommended specifically for polyclonal IgG from rabbit, pig, dog, or cat serum. It binds the heavy chain constant region (Fc) of IgG (CH2-CH3 region). Native Protein A is purified from Staphylococcus aureus (46.7 kDa; 4 IgG-binding sites). The POROS MabCapture A resins feature a recombinant Protein A (rPA) ligand produced in yeast that can be scaled up for bioprocess applications.

The MabCaptureC™ High Capacity Protein A is a high-performance chromatography resin for capturing mAbs and recombinant Fc-tagged fusion proteins. It provides high specific binding capacity and enhanced alkaline stability characteristics under clean-in-place conditions (CIP), for a more robust purification and resin regeneration.

We offer a wide selection of base supports and formats to purify antibodies using the Protein A ligand. Our portfolio is designed to meet small-scale (screening) up to large-scale (bioprocess) needs.

  • Multiple formats—magnetic beads, loose resin, spin columns and kits, FPLC cartridges, and 96-well filter plates enable antibody purification from microgram to kilogram scales
  • Alkaline stability—engineered to withstand common CIP procedures with 0.2 M NaOH enabling efficient cleaning of the chromatography resin
  • High performance—resins are designed to maximize protein yield and reduce background
  • Economical—pricing is similar to or better than our leading competitors
