The surface of Funcbeads™ Amino Magnetic Beads are modified with amino groups (NH₂), which can covalently couple bioligands such as polypeptides, proteins, and oligonucleotides to the surface of magnetic microspheres under the action of special chemical agents (such as glutaraldehyde).

Funcbeads™ Amino Magnetic Beads are coupled to target proteins or antibodies in two ways:

• The carboxyl group (-COOH) on the protein/antibody is coupled by an amide bond.

• Amino groups (-NH2) on proteins/antibodies are coupled by glutaraldehyde (GA).

Specification

Note

• Do not centrifuge, dry, or freeze Funcbeads™ Amino Magnetic Beads. These operations may lead to the aggregation of magnetic beads and reduce the binding capacity.
• Funcbeads™ Amino Magnetic Beads should be used with corresponding magnetic separation equipment.
• Funcbeads™ Amino Magnetic Beads can be stored stably at 2-8°C with a shelf life of 2 years.
• Funcbeads™ Amino Magnetic Beads are for research use only.
