2 Surface Activated A variety of ways to bind your ligand Manual or automated handling Protein separation technology Superior reproducibility All-in-one-tube protocols Easy handling and no sample loss Introduction are superparamagnetic monosized polymer spheres. They are magnetic only when placed in a magnetic field, with no magnetic remanence when the magnetic field is removed. are composed of highly cross-linked polystyrene with magnetic material precipitated in evenly distributed pores. The ferrous compound is sealed inside the bead by an additional layer of polymer. Chemical groups are then introduced onto the bead surface to facilitate binding of almost any ligand, and subsequent easy and convenient isolation of the bound target (fig. 1). Unique Monodispersity The unique monodispersity and uniformity of the provide optimal and reproducible reaction kinetics, and a rapid and efficient binding of target molecules. are easily dispersed and handle almost like a liquid. In addition, chemical agglutination and nonspecific binding are negligible as compared with irregularly shaped particles. Hydrophobic or Hydrophilic Dynal Biotech provides surface activated with both hydrophobic and hydrophilic characteristics: The hydrophilic beads allow for gentle coupling of ligands to the surface. The functional ac tivit y of enz y mes and labile proteins is therefore intact after immobilisation. T he hydrophilic proper ties of the beads ensure optimal dispersion in suspension. Very low nonspecific binding of proteins, dyes etc. is observed with the ph neutral M-270 Epoxy beads, thus the requirement for blocking agents is reduced. The functional groups of the M-270 Amine and Carboxylic Acid beads allow further introduction of a large variety of alternative reactive groups by using commercially available cross-linkers. A hydrophobic surface is an excellent choice for coupling of antibodies for affinity purification of organelles or proteins. The hydrophobic Fc region of the antibody is adsorbed to the hydrophobic bead surface, followed by a rapid covalent bond formation. The orientation of the antibody is optimal, with the Fab regions facing outwards. The resultant yield of target protein or organelle fractionation is elevated. Small or Large, Automation or Manual Handling Dynal Biotech offers surface activated of various sizes. For work with proteins, nucleic acids or similar materials, we recommend the 1.0 µm (the MyOne TM series) or the 2.8 µm (the M-280 and M-270 series). The larger 4.5 µm beads are well suited to isolating larger entities such as organelles or cells. Due to their size and high iron content they exert a strong pull to the magnet, even in viscous samples, yet still retain gentle handling of the bound target. The are easy to handle manually using simple magnet racks for the isolation of target. MyOne TM are ideal for isolation of smaller entities such as proteins and bacteriophages. In addition, the 1.0 µm beads have a large surface area, high capacity, efficient magnetic pull and excellent properties for automation. The MyOne TM products are tailor-made for use in automated protocols where high throughput is crucial. Dynal Biotech has developed suitable protocols for several of the robotic workstations available on the market. Specific Considerations To obtain the best possible result, it is important to choose the correct product for your specific application. The table on page 5 will help you decide which product to use. The choice will first of all depend on the nature of the ligand. A successful coupling of a ligand to tosylactivated beads requires primary amino- or sulphydryl groups. The orientation of the active site of the ligand must also be taken into consideration. Hydrophobic beads facilitate interactions between the beads and the hydrophobic parts of the proteins, whereas the hydrophilic beads are suitable when interactions between the beads and the hydrophilic parts of the proteins are desired. If the ligand is a labile peptide or protein, the best choice is to use beads with epoxy groups allowing for coupling down to 4 C. Carboxylic acid beads, with which peptide bonds are formed within minutes, are a satisfactory alternative. Fig. 1 Principle of biomagnetic separation with. 2
