Description
High-Resolution Size Exclusion for Small-Scale Protein & Nucleic Acid Purification
Zetadex-50 Superfine, Hydrated in Deionized Water / 0.15% ProClin is a ready-to-use gel filtration matrix developed by emp BIOTECH for rapid and efficient desalting, buffer exchange, and small molecule removal. Based on a 20–50 µm beaded composite of ultrapure cross-linked dextran, this pre-hydrated resin offers excellent resolution and minimal sample dilution in small-volume workflows.
Optimized for high-resolution size exclusion chromatography, Zetadex-50 Superfine separates molecules based on size, allowing larger proteins and nucleic acids to elute first while retaining salts, dyes, and other low molecular weight contaminants within the gel. Its pre-hydration in deionized water with 0.15% ProClin ensures immediate use in gravity, spin, or low-pressure column formats.
