GE Healthcare has announced the launch of Hitrap Con A 4B, ready-to-use columns pre-packed with Con A Sepharose 4B.
Con A Sepharose 4B is a chromatography medium for separation and purification of glycoproteins, polysaccharides and glycolipids.
The Hitrap columns are made of biocompatible polypropylene and are available in 1ml and 5ml formats, providing a convenient and reproducible solution for separations.
These columns can be operated with a syringe, a peristaltic pump, or a liquid chromatography system such as AKTAdesign.
Con A Sepharose 4B is an affinity chromatography medium with a lectin, concanavalin A (Con A), coupled to Sepharose 4B.
Immobilised lectins are invaluable tools for isolating and separating glycoproteins, polysaccharides and glycolipids, subcellular particles and cells, and for purifying detergent-solubilised cell-membrane components.
They are also useful for assessing changes in levels or composition of surface glycoproteins during cell development and in malignant or virally transformed variants.
Con A Sepharose 4B chromatography medium is also available in 5ml and 100ml bulk packs.
