Protein G Magnetic Beads

Protein G Magnetic Beads have been reformulated with Recombinant Albumin (rAlbumin) beginning with Lot #10361251.

Product Introduction

Protein G Magnetic Beads are an affinity matrix for the small-scale isolation and purification of immunoglobulins. Specifically, the beads consist of a truncated form of recombinant Protein G that is covalently coupled to a nonporous superparamagnetic particle.

  • Exhibits high affinity for subclasses of IgG from many species including human, rabbit, mouse, rat and sheep
  • Can be used for immunoprecipitations with mouse monoclonal antibodies
  • The protein is coupled through a linkage that is stable and leak resistant over a wide pH range. This permits the immunomagnetic purification of IgGs from ascites, serum or cell culture supernatants
  • The matrix can be regenerated without loss of binding capacity
  • Can be used to immunoprecipitate target proteins from crude cell lysates using a selected primary antibody. In addition, specific antibodies can be chemically cross-linked to the Protein G coated surface to create a reusable immunoprecipitation bead, thereby avoiding the co-elution of antibody with the target antigen
  • Binding capacity: 1 ml of Protein G Magnetic Beads binds >18 µg of Human IgG
  • Quick, small-scale purification of many subclasses of IgGs affords higher throughput and efficiency

Product Information

Description

Protein G Magnetic Beads are an affinity matrix for the small-scale isolation and purification of immunoglobulins. A truncated form of recombinant Protein G is covalently coupled to a nonporous superparamagnetic particle. Protein G exhibits high affinity for subclasses of IgG from many species including human, rabbit, mouse, rat and sheep (1). In addition, Protein G can be used for immunoprecipitations with mouse monoclonal antibodies (1). The protein is coupled through a linkage that is stable and leak resistant over a wide pH range. This permits the immunomagnetic purification of IgGs from ascites, serum or cell culture supernatants; the matrix can then be regenerated without loss of binding capacity. Protein G Magnetic Beads can be used to immunoprecipitate target proteins from crude cell lysates using selected primary antibody. In addition, specific antibodies can be chemically cross-linked to the Protein G coated surface to create a reusable immunoprecipitation bead, avoiding the co-elution of antibody with target antigen (2,3).

For larger volume requirements, customized and bulk packaging is available by purchasing through the OEM/Bulks department at NEB. Please contact the Customized Solutions team for further information.

Quality, Safety & Legal

Quality Assurance Statement

Quality Control tests are performed on each new lot of NEB product to meet the specifications designated for it. Specifications and individual lot data from the tests that are performed for this particular product can be found and downloaded on the Product Specification Sheet, Certificate of Analysis, data card or product manual. Further information regarding NEB product quality can be found here.

Specification Change Notifications

As of October 1, 2026, the binding capacity specification has been rewritten to reflect a change in the method used to quantify binding capacity. Binding capacity is now determined using a pure IgG substrate per bead mass which results in a more accurate measurement. The actual binding capacity of the beads has not been affected by this change. There have been no changes to the product concentration or the amount of product being supplied.

Protein G Magnetic Beads have been reformulated with Recombinant Albumin (rAlbumin) beginning with Lot #10361251. All subsequent (higher number) lots will contain rAlbumin.
