Description

Glyoxyl Agarose is a chemically activated, cross-linked agarose matrix specifically designed for the covalent immobilization of biomolecules, primarily proteins and antibodies. This product is essential for creating stable, high-capacity affinity chromatography media used in the purification and isolation of target compounds. It is a critical material for researchers and manufacturers in the biopharmaceutical, diagnostics, and life science research sectors who require reliable and efficient separation platforms.

Application

• Affinity chromatography media for antibody and protein purification.
• Immobilization support for enzymes in biocatalysis and industrial bioprocessing.
• Preparation of immunoadsorbents for the removal of specific antibodies or antigens.
• Solid-phase support for ligand binding assays and diagnostic test development.
• Manufacturing of specialized resins for the capture of tagged recombinant proteins.
• Creation of custom chromatographic packings for academic and industrial research.
