Protein Isolation Product Guide

This guide gives information on Dynabeads® that can be coated with different ligands.  Dynabeads are available with many different surfaces, each having unique affinities tailored for different ligands and assays.  Most of the beads listed in the table bind their ligand with a non-covalent interaction.

For covalent antibody coupling which enables the elution of pure target proteins free from the co-elution of antibodies, use the Dynabeads® Antibody Coupling Kit.
