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
