Features of this affinity matrix include:
• IgM purification from plasma and serum
• Purification of monoclonal IgM from cell cultures
• Efficient purification of IgM with high yields and retained activity
• Excellent scalability
• Non-animal derived
• High flow rates
• Cross-reactivity towards mouse and rat IgM
POROS CaptureSelect IgM Affinity Matrix binds to the Fc part of IgM. The high selectivity and yields obtained using IgM Affinity Matrix enable a robust, fast, and efficient purification process with excellent purity obtained in one step.
Free of animal components
Thermo Fisher Scientific POROS CaptureSelect products contain affinity ligands created by a proprietary technology based on camelid-derived single-domain antibody fragments. The ligand is a 13-kDa single-domain fragment that comprises the 3 CDRs that form the antigen binding domain and is efficiently produced by the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae in a production process free of animal components.
