Benefits
- Economic: high binding capacity and multiple regeneration cycles
- Fast and gentle one-step purification at 4°C preserves protein stability and function
- Tight and highly selective binding of a single repeat Spot-Tag
- High specificity leads to minimal contamination of host cell proteins
- No contamination of antibody heavy and light chains
Economic
- One-step purification with high purity and yield reduces costs and efforts
- Constant high purification results over >5 regeneration cycles
- High binding capacity and high elution efficiency
- Effective elution at acidic conditions or with Spot-peptide in a concentration of just 0.1 mM. Other purification resins require high peptide concentration of up to 2 mM for elution.
Versatile
- For any kind of protein, especially low expressed or sensitive proteins, membrane or secreted proteins, metalloproteins and multiple subunit protein complexes.
- Broad buffer compatibility and inert tag allow easy integration in experimental workflows
- Suitable for all commonly used expression hosts, e.g. bacteria, yeast, insect cells, and mammalian cells
- Engineered for optimal elution efficiency and high yield at 4°C in batch or gravity flow formats
Spot-Tag: Inert 12 amino acid peptide tag
- Sequence: PDRVRAVSHWSS (1.4 kDa)
- Short, flexible Spot-Tag preserves folding and function of fusion protein
- N- and C-terminal fusion for flexibility in cloning and protein expression
- No tag removal needed after purification because Spot-Tag is compatible to most biochemical assays
