Strep-Tactin® POROS®


for purification of Strep-tag® II proteins by FPLC or HPLC

Strep-Tactin POROS optimally combines high flow rates with selective binding and high dynamic capacity (see figures below). This material can be used for FPLC or HPLC applications allowing fast Strep-tag protein purification.1 Strep-Tactin POROS 20 has a bead size of 20 µm, while POROS 50 has a bead size of 50 µm. The binding capacity is identical.
Since the Strep-Tactin resins are optimized for column affinity chromatography as opposed to batch purification, we do recommend our pre-packed 1.7 ml Strep-Tactin POROS columns for FPLC and HPLC. For packing individual columns bulk material is available.

The green fluorescent protein (GFP) with C-terminal Strep-tag II was expressed in the cytoplasm of E. coli. After sterile filtration the crude lysate was separated via Perfusion Chromatography® on Strep-Tactin POROS 20 (5 mg/ml) under physiological conditions (100 mM Tris-Cl pH 8.0, 1 mM EDTA). Elution was performed by the addition of 5 mM desthiobiotin in the same buffer and chromatography was monitored by measuring the absorbance of the eluate at 280 nm.


The purification is documented on a coomassie stained SDS gel where samples from the crude lysate (lane 1) and from the elution peak at 6.7 minutes (lane 2) had been applied. 3 mg GFP could be obtained in one step when running a 1.7 ml column on a BioCAD® work-station.

1Please note, that the binding capacity is just about half of that of other matrices as described on Strep-Tactin Sepharose, Superflow and MacroPrep. POROS is not recommended for membrane proteins.
