FAQ
Can I get the datasheet for the Maleimide Activated Agarose XL?
What can I do with these beads?
The beads carry reactive Maleimide groups on their surface. These can be used to bind all sorts of biomolecules if they carry free thiol (SH) groups. The subsequent use of the beads depends on what biomolecule was coupled. Note: The maleimide coupling is irreversible! If you need reversible thiol coupling beads, we recommend our Epoxy Activated beads.
How does the coupling work?
How long can I store the Epoxy Agarose?
The reactive properties of the Maleimide beads are very potent. But therefore, they degrade over time. We can safely say that upon delivery the beads last for up to 3 months. If properly stored of course.
