IBA’s latest agarose resin, Strep-Tactin® 4Flow® High Capacity
Strep-Tactin® 4Flow® high capacity is our latest agarose resin in our 4Flow® resin product line. This product unifies and replaces the following resins, delivering the same exceptional performance:
- Strep-Tactin® Sepharose® (2-1201-002, 2-1201-010, 2-1201-025, 2-1201-500, 2-1202-550, 2-1202-001)
- Strep-Tactin® Superflow® (2-1206-025)
- Strep-Tactin® Superflow® high capacity (2-1208-002, 2-1208-010, 2-1208-025, 2-1208-500, 2-1209-001, 2-1209-051, 2-1209-101, 2-1209-550, 2-1239-001, 2-1240-001)
Excellent purity and enhanced binding capacity with Strep-Tactin® 4Flow® high capacity
This resin is designed with a low-concentrated (4%) and pressure-stable agarose matrix, coupled with a high Strep-Tactin® density. These unique specifications provide several key advantages:
- High protein binding capacity
- Applicability for FPLC workstations
- High yields for all protein classes, especially large proteins
Strep-Tactin® 4Flow® high capacity unifies features of previous resins
