Description

Decyl-Agarose is a hydrophobic affinity chromatography medium, where decyl groups are covalently coupled to an agarose matrix. This product is essential for the purification and separation of biomolecules, including proteins, enzymes, and antibodies, based on their hydrophobic interactions. It is a critical tool for researchers and process development scientists in the biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and life sciences industries.

Application

• Hydrophobic Interaction Chromatography (HIC): Primary application for the purification of proteins, peptides, and other biomolecules.
• Antibody Purification: Used in downstream processing to isolate monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies from complex mixtures.
• Enzyme Separation: Effective for the purification of lipases, membrane-associated enzymes, and other hydrophobic proteins.
• Biopharmaceutical Manufacturing: A key chromatography medium in Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) processes for therapeutic proteins.
• Research & Development: Employed in laboratory-scale purification for protein characterization and functional studies.
• Vaccine Production: Can be utilized in the purification steps of certain vaccine antigens.
