ProPur™: His-tagged protein purification made easy

Abstract

ProPur™ affinity spin columns contain a unique flow regulator, FlowGo, which maximizes the contact time between the target protein and the resin. ProPur columns offer the speed of a spin column with the yields and purities of a gravity column or a batch protocol. They are ideal for rapid small-scale and pilot purifications of His-tagged proteins, method development, expression trials, solubility determination and separation of the proteolytically cleaved His tag from the purified protein.
