Coupling-Efficiency-GraphThermo Scientific Pierce NHS-Activated Agarose more effectively couples dilute samples than competing products. Rabbit IgG (0.5 mg) was applied to 0.25 mL of activated agarose in PBS at pH 7.2 for 30 minutes. The protein concentration of the flow-through and washes (uncoupled IgG) was determined using the Pierce 660nm Protein Assay. The bound IgG was calculated by subtracting the amount of uncoupled IgG from the amount added. The coupling efficiencies of both dry and slurry forms of Pierce NHS-Activated Agarose were higher than NHS-activated Sepharose™ 4 Fast Flow (GE Healthcare) and Affi-Gel™ 10 Gel (Bio-Rad).
44999-002-SulfoLink-Peptide-TCEPFigure 1. TCEP effectively reduces peptide sulfhydryls (cysteine residues) to maximize covalent immobilization efficiency to SulfoLink Coupling Resin. Peptide A (0.5 mg) and human calcitonin peptide (1 mg) were incubated with (+) or without (-) 25 mM TCEP for 30 minutes and then reacted to 2 mL of SulfoLink Resin for 30 minutes using the default kit procedure. Each peptide contained a C-terminal cysteine, as well as an N-terminal fluorescent tag by which the proportion of non-coupled peptide was determined upon recovery of the reaction solution.
