AbCap A 4FF
Smart-Lifesciences rProtein A Beads 4FF is an affinity chromatography medium designed for the purification of monoclonal antibody, polyclonal antibody and Fc tag fusion protein.The recombinant protein A is coupled to highly cross-linked 4% sepharose gel. This coupling method can improve the binding capacity for immunoglobulin. The static binding capacity of rProtein A Beads 4FF is greater than 40 mg human IgG/ml settled beads. The dynamic binding capacity will vary depending on several factors such as target antibody,flow rate etc.

ProblemPossible CauseSolution
The flow rate of the column is very low.The sieve plate is blocked.Clean or replace the sieve plate.
Column is clogged.Cleaning in place(part 3).
Filtering the sample solution by passing them through a 0.22μm or 0.45μm filter.
The curve is not stable during sample purificationTiny air bubbles from buffer or sample.De-gas buffers and samples. Do not allow the column to dry.
A considerable amount of sample has been loaded, but no specific antibody of interest is detected.The concentration of antibody of interest is very low.Purify the antibody using the specific antigen coupled to a beads (i.e., PabPur Sufolink Beads, Cat. No. SA018005).
The antibody is sensitive to low-pH elution bufferNeutralize the eluted fractions with Neutralization Buffer immediately after elution.
The IgG subclass does not bind to protein A.Try other affinity chromatography media to purify the antibody, such as rProtein G Beads or rProtein A/G Beads.
The recovery rate gradually decreases.The sample is overloaded.Reduce the loading volume.
The column is too dirty and the binding capicity is reduced.Cleaning in place(part 3).
