Aleuria Aurantia Lectin (AAL), Agarose bound, 2 ml. Features: Matrix is heat-stable, crosslinked 4% agarose beads with a molecular exlusion of about 2x107 daltons, Bead diameter ranges in size from 45–165 microns, Matrix is stable in solutions at pH 3–11 as well as many organic solvents, Immobilized lectins are prepared using affinity-purified lectins. Covalent attachment preserves lectin activity, minimizing conformational changes that might result in non-specific or hydrophobic interactions. Hydrophilic spacer arm is inserted between the lectin and the matrix. Conjugated proteins are not leached off the beads by Tris or other routinely used buffers. No residual charges present after conjugation, minimizing non-specific binding to the matrix. Product supplied as a 1:1 suspension in buffer (2 mg lectin/ml gel). Inhibiting/Eluting Sugar: 100 mM L-fucose or Glycoprotein Eluting Solution (Cat. No. ES-3100).
