Product Description
GFP Nanoselector Magnetic beads have been specifically designed to bind GFP-fusion proteins. GFP Nanoselector Magnetic beads is based on small high-affinity recombinant alpaca antibody fragments covalently coupled to the surface of Magnetic beads. GFP Nanoselector Magnetic beads are ideal tools to isolate or purify GFP-fusion proteins fast and efficiently. Ligand: Anti-GFP single domain antibody fragment (VHH, Nanobody)Bead size. Bead size: ~ 40 µm. Reactivity: Recognizes GFP, mEGFP, superfolder GFP and most common CFP and YFP variants. Does not cross-react with mCherry, mRFP, dsRed, mTagBFP, mTagRFP or their most common derivatives.. Binding capacit: High binding capacity, 10 µL slurry bind about 20 µg of recombinant GFP..
Storage Instructions
Shipped at ambient temperature. Upon receipt store at 4℃. Stable for 1 year. Do not freeze.

Advantages of using an Alpaca Recombinant Secondary
1. Smaller size
Nanobodies are 1/10 the size of a traditional antibody (~15 kDa unconjugated). This means that the nanobody can penetrate tissue faster and deeper than other antibodies.
2. Easier to use
Due to their simple structure, nanobodies also have the advantage of increased stability and ease of use.
3. Easier production
When compared to a more traditional antibody, nanobodies are easier to develop and produce in the lab than monoclonal or polyclonal antibodies.
4. More consistent
Since nanobodies are recombinantly produced from clonal DNA, you are guaranteed the same product every time. Comparatively, polyclonal antibodies are produced in live animals and have a very low lot-to-lot consistency while monoclonal antibodies can suffer from drift.
5. Higher Affinity
Nanobodies benefit from consistently high binding affinity values.
