Product Information
Spot-Trap® Agarose is an affinity bead for immunoprecipitation (IP) of Spot-tagged proteins It comprises an anti-Spot-Tag® VHH/ Nanobody coupled to agarose beads.
| Description | The Spot-Trap Agarose Kit contains Spot-Trap Agarose, lysis, wash, and elution buffers for efficient immunoprecipitation of Spot-tagged proteins and their interacting factors.
• No contaminating heavy and light antibody chains • Ready-to-use • Recombinantly expressed without batch-to-batch variation • Well-characterized and validated • Compatible with harsh buffer conditions • Extraordinary low background compared to other affinity resins • Short incubation time of 30-60 minutes |
