What is the binding capacity of SulfoLink Resin?
SulfoLink Resin can bind approximately 5 mg of reduced IgG per mL of support. For peptides, the capacity is approximately 1 mg of peptide per mL of gel. Capacity for other compounds will vary.

When using the SulfoLink Coupling Resins and Kits, my peptide is not soluble in the coupling buffer. What can I do?
SulfoLink Immobilization is compatible with 3-4 M fresh urea or guanidine. Alternatively, dissolve the peptide in 100% DMSO. Add the peptide in DMSO to the coupling buffer so that the DMSO does not exceed 20% of the final solution.

Must I block the resin before each use when using the SulfoLink Coupling Resins and Kits?
No. The resin will no longer react with subsequent sulfhydryls after the ligand is attached and the remaining active sites are blocked.

How many purifications can I perform using the same SulfoLink Column?
The columns can be reused at least 10 times without loss of activity.

How do I perform affinity purifications with conjugated SulfoLink Affinity Columns?
Equilibrate the column with 3-5 bed-volumes of an appropriate binding buffer. Add 1 mL of sample for each 2 mL column (serum should be diluted at least 1:1 with binding buffer). Add an additional 200 µl of binding buffer to ensure that the entire sample has entered the gel bed. Cap the column bottom and top. Incubate the column for 1 hour. Wash away non-bound proteins with 5-7 bed-volumes of binding buffer or 1 M NaCl. Elute the bound sample by adding small fractions (0.5-1.0 ml) of elution buffer such as Thermo Scientific IgG Elution Buffer (Cat. No. 21004).
