This elution buffer enables mild, non-acidic recovery of antibodies or antigen-antibody complexes by using near-neutral pH (6.6) combined with high ionic strength. Traditional elution methods using low-pH buffers can sometimes denature delicate proteins or compromise biological activity. In contrast, the Pierce™ Gentle Ag/Ab Elution Buffer preserves protein functionality and structure, making it suitable for sensitive downstream applications such as functional assays, enzyme activity measurements, or further binding interactions.
The buffer is phosphate-free, which avoids compatibility issues with other reagents (notably the Protein A Binding Buffer) that may precipitate under certain conditions.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Non-denaturing Elution
Maintains structural integrity of antibodies and antigens due to near-neutral pH. -
High-Salt Formulation
Uses ionic strength (instead of acid) to disrupt binding interactions gently. -
Pre-formulated & Ready to Use
Supplied as a filtered 1X liquid solution—no mixing or dilution required. -
Optimized for Gentle Ag/Ab Systems
Recommended for use with Pierce™ Gentle Ag/Ab Binding Buffer and ideal with Protein A/G affinity supports. -
Safe for Labile Proteins
Compatible with enzymes, functional antibodies, and other delicate biomolecules.
