Magnetic Concanavalin A Beads (Agarose)
-
- Key Features
-
- Magnetic agarose concanavalin A beads for CUT&RUN and CUT&Tag assays.
- Superior handling compared to magnetic silica concanavalin A beads: easier washes and resuspension.
- Reduced risk for samples to dry out.
- Performance comparable to or better than magnetic silica concanavalin A beads.
- 应用范围
- Cleavage Under Targets and Release Using Nuclease (CUT&RUN), Cleavage Under Targets and Tagmentation (CUT&Tag), Separation (Sep)
- 原理
- Immobilization of whole cells through Concanavlin A binding of membrane glyocproteins.
- 产品特性
-
- Magnetic ConA Beads (Agarose) for CUT&RUN/CUT&Tag Assays are based on a ferrimagnetic core surrounded by an agarose matrix covalently bound via polyurethane links.
- In contrast to silica based beads containing superparamagnetic magnetite nanaoparticles, the hydrophilic surface of our Magnetic ConA Beads (Agarose) for CUT&RUN/CUT&Tag Assays reduces the risk of unspecific binding of contaminants. No residual charges are present after conjugation. This minimizes non-specific binding to the matrix.
- The weak magnetic moment does not interfere with their solubility in the absence of an external magnet field. Upon exposure to a magnetic field however, the beads show a stronger magnetic reaction than the superparamagnetic beads. They are therefore easier to pull out of a solution using a magnetic separator.
- The beads' diameter is with 30 μm considerably larger than for silica based ConA beads. Their capacity is comparable because of the open structure of the agarose carbohydrate network.

- 应用备注
- Optimal working dilution should be determined by the investigator.
- 说明
-
- Metal ions (calcium and manganese) mediate the binding to Concanavalin A and stabilize is conformation.
- The use of buffers with EDTA or other metal chelators must be avoided as it will result in a loss of carbohydrate binding ability.

- Experimental Notes
Transcription start sites were identified through CUT&RUN on LSK cells immobilized on magnetic ConA beads ABIN6952467 using an H3K4me3 antibody. Identified peaks were consistent with the Histone Mods by ChIP-seq from ENCODE (NCBI37/mm9).
Background signal using the agarose based ConA beads ABIN6952467 appeared to be lower than in a parallel experiment using silica based ConA beads for cell immobilization.
