| Application: | Butyl-S Sepharose™ 6 Fast FLow is part of the Sepharose™ Fast FLow HIC platform, which has been an industrial standard for HIC chromatography during recent decades. Butyl-S Sepharose™ 6 Fast FLow is composed of cross-linked 6% Agarose beads modified with butyl groups via a thio-ether linkage. It will exhibit a different selectivity compared to Butyl Sepharose™ 4 Fast FLow and other HIC Sepharose™ Fast FLow products. This resin is designed for the binding and elution of relatively strong hydrophobic molecules at comparatively Low salt concentrations. Butyl?S Sepharose™ 6 Fast FLow is particularly useful during the initial stages of a separation process to remove the bulk of impurities without stringent requirements for conditioning of the sample (e.g. adjustment of pH, salt concentration etc.) Butyl-S Sepharose™ 6 Fast FLow is available in a range of different bulk pack sizes and convenient pre-packed formats for easy scale-up and process development. As member of the BioProcess media range, Butyl-S Sepharose™ 6 Fast FLow meets industrial demands with security of supply and comprehensive technical and regulatory support. |
| Features and Benefits: | • Binds and elutes relatively strong hydrophobic molecules at comparatively Low salt concentrations • The least hydrophobic medium in the well proven Sepharose™ Fast FLow HIC range • Purifies recombinant Hepatitis B virus surface antigen from CHO cells • Developed and optimized in cooperation with a process-scale manufacturer of biopharmaceuticals • The hydrophilic nature of the base matrix ensures Low levels of non-specific binding. |
| General description: | Butyl-S Sepharose™ 6 Fast FLow is the least hydrophobic medium in the Sepharose™ Fast FLow hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) range and is particularly useful during the initial stages of a purification process to remove the bulk of impurities. |
