AbCap G 4FF
rProtein G Beads 4FF is an affinity chromatography medium designed for the purification of monoclonal antibody,polyclonal antibody and Fc tag fusion protein. The recombinant protein G ligand is coupled to highly cross-linked 4% agarose beads. The characteristics of rProtein G Beads 4FF are summarized in Table 1.
Protein G, a bacterial cell wall protein isolated from group G Streptococci, binds to mammalian IgGs mainly through Fc regions. Native protein G has 3 IgG binding domains and also site for albumin and cell-surface binding. The recombinant protein G have been eliminated the nonspecific binding site. Although protein G has very similar tertiary structures to protein A, their amino acid compositions differ significantly, resulting in different binding characteristics. Protein G can be used for purification of mammalian monoclonal and polyclonal IgGs that do not bind well to protein A. Protein G has better affinity than protein A for most mammalian IgGs, especially for certain subclasses including human IgG3, mouse IgG1 and rat IgG2a.
AbCap G 4FF is a prepacked ready to use ,column for purification of monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies. AbCap G 4FF 1ml and 5ml columns are packed with 1ml and 5ml of rprotein G beads 4FF. AbCap G 4FF can be adapted to all kinds of chromatography system, such as ÄKTA. It is easy to operate.

ProblemPossible CauseSolution
The flow rate of the column is very low.The sieve plate is blocked.Clean or replace the filter.
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.
No antibody in the elute.The antibody can not be eluted.Reduce the pH of the elution buffer.
The antibody is unstable at low pH.Neutralize the eluted fractions with Neutralization Buffer immediately after elution.
The IgG subclass does not bind to protein G.Try other affinity chromatography media to purify the antibody, such as rProtein A Beads , rProtein A/G Beads or PabPur Sufolink Beads (the specific antigen can be immobilized to the beads).
The recovery rate gradually decreases.The sample is overloaded.Reduce the loading volume.
The reduced performance of the medium.Cleaning in place(part 3).
