Blue Uniflow contains the blue dye, Cibacron blue 3GA, which has a high affinity for several enzymes, most notably the enzymes that bind a purine nucleotide. Some examples of enzymes that bind to Cibacron Blue F3G-A are phosphofructokinase, pyruvate kinase, and dehydrogenase. It is estimated that as many as 50% of enzymes are nucleotide-binding, so Blue Uniflow is often used as one of many purification steps in a process. It also binds to several non-enzymatic proteins such as albumin, lipoproteins, and blood coagulation factors. Blue Uniflow is extremely stable in alkaline conditions and is compatible with most commonly used buffers. Most Cibacron Blue chromatography resins will leach blue dye over time, as is evidenced by the blue color of their storage buffer, reducing their capacity without even using it. Sterogene’s linkage chemistry ensures that this effect is drastically minimized, ensuring stable binding capacities over the life of the resin and virtually eliminating product contamination with leached dye. Whether capturing albumin or purifying an enzyme, our stable linkage chemistry will provide you with longer life spans, higher yields, and better cost effectiveness.
