Products and Services
Whether you are striving for purity, yield, reproducibility, capacity, or productivity, Bio-Rad has the chromatography products
you need.
- UNOsphere S & Q media. Based on a single-step polymerization process, UNOsphere media delivers high binding capacities at
high flow rates and low backpressures.
- CHT ceramic hydroxyapatite. A chemically pure form of hydroxyapatite sintered at high temperatures to yield a mechanically
robust support. CHT retains the unique separation properties of crystalline hydroxyapatite, but can be used reproducibly for
many cycles at high flow rates and in process-scale columns.
- CFT ceramic fluoroapatite. CFT has similar properties to CHT and allows for purifications at values as low as pH 5.0.
- Macro-Prep Supports. Polymeric methacrylate supports available with strong and weak ion exchange and hydrophobic interaction
functionalities. These rigid macroporous hydrophilic supports provide excellent capacity, resolution, and throughput.
- Profinity IMAC resins. Offering optimal capture and purification of recombinant His-tagged proteins, Profinity IMAC resins
are compatible with denaturants, detergents, and reducing agents; stable across entire pH range.
- Chelex resins. Chelating resins that bind polyvalent cations with high selectivity, remove metal ions from samples and buffers.
- AG resins. Extensively processed to remove both organic and inorganic impurities, AG resins are used for the separation of
low molecular weight molecules such as inorganic ions, organic acids, and carbohydrates.
- EasyPack and GelTec process chromatography columns. Both column styles have variable height adapters, sanitary design and
inflatable seals, and are customizable up to 3 m in diameter. The EasyPack columns are open columns with a fixed bottom endpiece.
The GelTec columns are designed for contained packing, unpacking, and cleaning-in-place.
- Process chromatography systems and accessories.
Technical Services: The Bio-Rad Laboratories Life Sciences Group's technical support offerings include technical telephone
and on-line support, regulatory support files, and process-scale applications development services.
