Innovative Modular System for High-Throughput Protein Purification.


HANOVER, Germany -- Vivascience AG Launches Vivapure(TM) 8-to-96 Well Cobalt-Chelate Kit for His-tagged(1) Protein Purification

Vivascience, a subsidiary of Sartorius AG, introduces the Vivapure(TM) 8-to-96 well cobalt-chelate kit, a complete system for simultaneous purification of multiple His-tagged proteins by Immobilized Metal Affinity Chromatography (IMAC Apple's primary desktop computer. The iMac is an "all-in-one" that houses the computer and drives within the flat panel monitor case. Since their debut in 1998, the iMacs have been very popular. Like all Macintosh models in that time frame, the first iMacs used PowerPC chips. ). The kit includes ready-to-use, membrane-based hardware for all steps of the purification process: lysate ly·sate

 collection and storage. All kit components are compatible with multi-channel devices and automated workstations, making the system suitable for high-throughput applications.

The Vivapure(TM) 8-to-96 well cobalt-chelate kit offers a unique modular format. Depending on the sample number, up to twelve individual 8-strips are inserted into frames with the footprint of standard 96-well plates. This feature results in proportionate savings when less than 96 samples are simultaneously processed.

Prior to protein purification, cell lysates are cleared by filtration through the multi-layer membrane of the Vivaclear(TM) plus 8-strips. Afterwards, His-tagged proteins are isolated from the lysate using the Vivapure(TM) cobalt-chelate 8-strips. Each well of these 8-strips is pre-packed with a membrane containing immobilized cobalt-IDA (iminodiacetic acid) chelates, which specifically capture His-tagged proteins.

 protein binding, this membrane-based technology assures high and reproducible recoveries of ultrapure target proteins.

Parallel processing of multiple samples is accomplished by rapid centrifugation-based steps. Up to 250 ug His-tagged protein per well can be purified within 45 minutes. The kit is ideal for fast screening of expression libraries, optimisation of expression conditions and preparation of multiple purified proteins to be used in interaction studies, structural and functional analyses or for spotting protein arrays.

The Vivapure(TM) 8-to-96 well cobalt-chelate kit enlarges the Vivapure family of membrane-based protein purification tools, which include a variety of centrifugal devices using metal chelate chelate
