Description
Heparin SepFast is an affinity chromatography medium that is used for the purification of biomolecules that show affinity to heparin, such as antithrombin III, coagulation factors and other plasma proteins, DNA binding proteins, lipoproteins, protein synthesis factors, enzymes that act on nucleic acids, and steroid receptors.
The base matrix is made of cross-linked porous agarose. The particles have an open pore structure with good mass transfer properties to large protein molecules. Heparin is immobilized to the base matrix by reducing amination method.
The medium shows high mechanical rigidity, so it can be operated at high flow velocities with moderate pressure drops. The medium is compatible with most of the chemical reagents commonly used in biological systems.
Pre-packed columns for screening and process development use are available at following sizes: 1 ml, 5 ml, 3.8 ml (7x100mm ID x BH), 9.5 ml (11x100mm ID x BH), 20 ml (16x100mm ID x BH), 53 ml (26x100mm ID x BH). All these columns have connections fully compatible to Akta systems. Column hardware has 6 bar (0.6 MPa) pressure rating. See Column Instruction for details of HiSep and Optio column hardware.
Pre-packed columns for pilot to production scale use with column diameter ranging from 5cm to 45cm are available on request. For bulk loose media, please contact us.
