Invitrogen™ Ni-NTA Agarose is a nickel-charged affinity resin specifically designed for purifying recombinant proteins containing a polyhistidine tag (6xHis). The resin employs nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) as the chelating ligand, coupled to a cross-linked 6% agarose matrix. This versatile product supports purification under both native and denaturing conditions and is suitable for various applications, including batch and gravity flow methods.
Key Features
- High Binding Capacity:
- Binds up to 50 mg of recombinant protein per 1 mL of resin, making it highly efficient for purification workflows.
- Versatile Applications:
- Compatible with both native and denaturing conditions, allowing flexibility for different experimental requirements.
- Robust and Stable:
- Provided as a 50% slurry in 30% ethanol, ensuring easy handling.
- Resin stability guaranteed for 6 months when stored properly at +4°C.
- Easy Elution:
- Proteins can be eluted using low pH buffers, or by competition with imidazole or histidine, ensuring high-purity recovery.
- Distinctive Appearance:
- Resin is blue in color when charged with Ni²⁺, providing a visual confirmation of its active state.
