Protein A Coated Surface is designed for the capture of IgG applied directly or as an antibody/antigen complex.

Protein A Coated Surface provides an alternative to direct, passive adsorption methods for immobilizing antibodies for ELISA and other plates-based assay techniques. 

Protein A specifically binds the Fc region of immunoglobulins of many mammalian species  (see Table 1)  with an orientation that allows the F(ab)2 binding sites to be freely available for efficient binding to epitope. When coated on a surface, the Protein A can securely capture IgG applied directly or as antigen/antibody complexes.

Examples of applications for Protein A Coated surface

Biomat Protein A Coated Products

Protein A Coated Surfaces main features

Biomat Protein A Coated products have the following characteristics:

  • Ready to Use
  • Manufactured under ISO:9001 guidelines
  • All lots are tested for uniformity and reproducibility
  • Certificate of Quality is released for every lot
  • For Research Use Only

Also, Protein A  Coated Products ensures:

Uniformity

The coated products show a CV% less than 10 when used as a catcher of biotinylated human IgG in an ELISA format using streptavidin-HRP as detector and TMB as substrate.

Storage and Stability

The coated products, if unopened, are stable at 2-8°C until the expiration date printed on the label. If opened, store in closed pouch with desiccant and use within the expiration date.

Protein A Coated Microplates Specifications

Coating

Recombinant Protein A ( M.W. 38.9 kDa ), from Staphylococcus aureus subsp. Aureus, expressed in E. coli, is coated using 200 µl/well.

Binding capacity

Microplate was saturated with biotinylated human IgG at a concentration of 0.4-0.5 µg/ml (400-500 ng/well) in an ELISA format using Streptavidin-HRP diluted mixed with Streptavidin as detector and TMB as substrate.

see Binding Capacity technical note

Results:

2.66 - 3.33 pMol IgG/well (100 μl volume)

Sensitivity

Biotinylated human IgG was detected at a concentration significantly above background in an ELISA format using streptavidin-HRP as detector and TMB as substrate. 

see Sensitivity technical note

Results:

0.113 ng/well of human IgG
