Streptavidin immobilized to Sepharose High Performance for purification of biotinylated compounds Extremely useful for exploiting either the strong interactions of biotin and streptavidin or the somewhat weaker interactions of 2iminobiotin and streptavidin. 34 µm bead size for improved resolution. Streptavidin Sepharose High Performance is an affinity chromatography resin designed for fast and reliable, high resolution purification of biotinylated biomolecules. Purified Streptavidin isolated from Streptomyces avidinii is immobilised on Sepharose High Performance. The base matrix is a rigid, highly crosslinked beaded agarose with high chemical stability. The immobilised streptavidin binds biotin and biotinylated substances through affinity chromatography.
