Case 1. L00666 - High Binding Capacity, Strong Affinity, and High Purity
High Affinity Ni-Charged Resin FF (L00666) based on a 6% highly cross-linked agarose matrix, covalently coupled with the NTA chelating ligand, which binds Ni²⁺ through four coordination sites. This resin enables high-affinity purification of recombinant proteins carrying polyhistidine (His) tags. High Affinity Ni-Charged Resin FF offers low Ni²⁺ leakage, high protein binding capacity, and excellent chemical stability, making it well-suited for various protein purification protocols. These features make Ni-NTA resin an ideal choice for purifying 6xHis-tagged fusion proteins.

Case 2. L00885 - Strong Resistance to Chemical Reagents
High Affinity Ni-TED Resin FF (L00885) is a next-generation immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC) resin. It features TED ligands coupled to a 6% agarose gel matrix, forming five coordination bonds with Ni²⁺ ions. This resin is primarily designed for the capture and purification of histidine-tagged (His-tag) proteins secreted into the supernatant of eukaryotic expression systems. Compared to other chelating resins, High Affinity Ni-TED Resin offers superior compatibility with a wider range of components, allowing efficient target protein purification even in the presence of certain concentrations of EDTA and DTT.
The experimental results indicate that Ni-TED exhibits strong resistance to chemical reagents.

Case 1. Stability Test of Ni-TED Beads Under NaOH Treatment
AmMag™ Ni Magnetic beads (L00776) are designed for the purification and screening of histidine-tagged (His-tag) proteins. These beads exhibit high resistance to EDTA and DTT, enabling effective protein binding even in the presence of chelating agents. Optimized for ease of washing and regeneration, the beads can be reused across multiple samples. They are well-suited for purifying proteins from diluted samples, low-expression proteins, and pull-down assays. In addition, they are compatible with the Quatro ProAb Magnetic Bead Purification System for high-throughput purification of His-tagged proteins and antibodies.
1.Experimental Materials
-
E. coli lysate (5 mL lysate per 100 µL of beads, ensuring target protein is in excess)
-
Ni-TED magnetic beads:
100 µL of untreated beads
100 µL of beads treated with 1 M NaOH 100 times
-
Lysis/Wash Buffer: 20 mM Na₂HPO₄, 0.15 M NaCl, pH 7.0
-
Elution Buffer: 20 mM Na₂HPO₄, 0.15 M NaCl, 0.5 M imidazole, pH 7.0
2.Experimental Results
The results show that Ni-TED magnetic beads maintain the binding capacity and purification performance even after 100 cycles of treatment with 1 M NaOH. There was no noticeable difference in protein yield or purity between untreated beads and beads exposed to repeated NaOH treatment, regardless of whether the sample contained EDTA and DTT. These findings demonstrate the excellent chemical resistance of Ni-TED magnetic beads.
