Blue Beads are primarily used for quick removal of albumins from protein-containing samples. The Cibacron Blue F3GA dye used in this product acts as a versatile binding agent binding to both charged and non-charged site in various molecules. Product was optimized for the removal of Bovine albumins while minimizing loss of other proteins present in sample.
