Innova Biosciences (Innova), a specialist provider of bioconjugation products and services, today announced the launch of the AbPure™ Magnetic Purification system, a unique antibody purification system compatible with any conjugation technology.

The system is based on Protein A Magnetic Beads, which have a high affinity for IgG molecules and allow scientists to purify small quantities of antibody from complex mixtures. While purification technologies based on protein A are well known, they introduce substances that interfere with antibody conjugation reactions, forcing further clean-up steps and losses of valuable material.

The AbPure Magnetic Purification System contains novel buffer compositions that are compatible with every conceivable approach to conjugation, including Innova’s Lightning-Link®, Thunder-Link®, InnovaCoat® GOLD and LATEX conjugation kits.

Nick Gee, CEO and CSO at Innova Biosciences, commented: “Lack of compatibility between purification and conjugation processes is frustrating for scientists and we are delighted to provide an innovative solution to this long-standing problem. The AbPure Magnetic system will save researchers time, improve antibody yields and facilitate the production of conjugates.

AntibodiesAntibodies are used in techniques such as confocal and fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, ELISA, ELISPOT, immunohistochemistry, western blotting and immunopreciptation. Select specific antigen reactivity, high specific affinity, low non-specific binding, monoclonal or polyclonal, primary or secondary antibodies and associated conjugates such as an enzyme or dye for visualization.Protein PurificationProtein purification is a vital step in drug discovery, therapeutics, biotech and life science research. The purification process typically involves subcellular or membrane protein extraction with cell lysis kits, separation of proteins from cell debris by filtration or spin columns, and the isolation of proteins of interest from other proteins and impurities with affinity purification (including fusion protein tags and antibody binding proteins A, G and L), immunoprecipitation or chromatographic methods, such as ion exchange, size exclusion and immobilized metal affinity chromatography. All purification methods come in multiple formats for your laboratory needs, including agarose or magnetic beads, resins, columns and filter plates.
