PureCube Compact Cartridge Co-NTA
Order number: 31602
Description
The PureCube Co-NTA Compact cartridge is an IMAC chromatography column prepacked with PureCube Co-NTA resin. You can choose between two sizes, 1 mL bed volume and 5 mL bed volume. The PureCube cartridge/column that is used here is compatible with almost all commonly used FPLC systems like ÄKTA TM.
If this is not the case we recommend buying the sole loose PureCube Co-NTA resin and packing the columns yourself. A dedicated tutorial can be found on the matching site.
Alternatively, we also offer our PureCube Co-NTA products as magnetic beads, if you prefer this IMAC method.

Lab Results
Different metal ions confer different binding affinity and specificity
Loading different metal ions to a resin results in differing affinity and specificity for a His-tagged protein. Generally, cobalt exhibits the highest binding specificity of commonly used IMAC metal ions, leading to relatively low yields but high purity. Copper, at the other end of the spectrum, has a high affinity leading to high yields but unspecific binding. In searching for the optimal resin to purify a protein, it is recommended to explore different chelating ligands (IDA or NTA) and different metal ions.

FAQ
Can I get the datasheet for the Co-NTA COMPACT cartridge?
Is there a difference between a column and a cartridge??
No, these two terms are synonymous.
What are the reasons for nonspecific binding?
Some histidine-rich proteins can also bind to cobalt, this is unavoidable. But washing with NaOH after elution of your protein of interest removes unspecific bound proteins from your resin.
Can Co-NTA beads be stripped?
Yes, they can. But we recommend using our pre-stripped NTA beads from the beginning:
Can I reuse PureCube Co-NTA beads or cartridges or can I regenerate them?
Yes, you can reuse the beads! We recommend using our washing & regeneration protocol at least after every 5th use of the beads.
