Poly-electrolytes are polymers with repeating units of stationary charges. AlbuSorb™ LS comes from a class of solid-phase, elastomeric poly-electrolytyes that bind proteins through an empirically derived chemistry combining elements of polymer composition, cross-linking architecture and charge properties. Unlike immuno-affinity, the solid-phase utilized is disposable, eliminating cycle to cycle variance and cross-contamination. AlbuSorb™ LS is supplied as a liquid suspension, so no weighing; simply pipette, centrifuge and/or filter, and recover the albumin depleted serum/plasma in the unbound fraction.
AlbuSorb™ LS is purchased as a suspension reagent with the binding buffer, and spin-filter assemblies. Additional spin-Filter assemblies (low protein binding, 0.45 µm filter element) can be purchased as accessories; please inquire. For larger preps, centrifugation can also be used without the need for filters; bulk quantities of AlbuSorb™ LS can be purchased, please inquire.
