Cibacron Blue 3GA Affinity Ligand
HardAC Blue uses Cibacron Blue 3GA as its affinity ligand.
According to the supplied Blue Series description, the ligand is incorporated into an agarose-based affinity chromatography medium and can interact with different proteins through both specific and nonspecific mechanisms.
Human Serum Albumin Loading
The specified human serum albumin loading of HardAC Blue is:
≥24 mg/mL
This value is specifically listed in the supplied table as Human Serum Albumin Loading.
It should not be interpreted as the universal binding capacity for all target proteins.
Broad Protein Binding
According to the supplied information, the Blue Series can bind proteins through specific interactions.
It can also interact with proteins through nonspecific:
Charge interactions
Hydrophobic interactions
These characteristics contribute to its broad application in protein purification.
Human Serum Albumin Purification
HardAC Blue provides a specified human serum albumin loading of ≥24 mg/mL.
Serum albumin is specifically listed among the purification applications of the Blue Series, making HardAC Blue suitable for relevant albumin purification workflows.
Enzyme Purification
The supplied Blue Series information identifies several enzyme groups among its applications, including:
Dehydrogenases
Kinases
Transferases
HardAC Blue can therefore be used in suitable affinity chromatography workflows for purification of these types of proteins.
Interferon Purification
Interferons are also specifically included among the applications listed for the Blue Series.
HardAC Blue can be considered for appropriate interferon separation and purification processes.
Plasma Protein Purification
The Blue Series is described as being widely applicable to plasma protein purification.
Its broad interaction mechanisms allow the chromatography medium to be used for purification of selected plasma proteins.
Physical and Chemical Stability
According to the supplied information, the Blue Series provides good physical and chemical stability.
This characteristic supports its use in chromatography purification processes requiring stable affinity media.
No numerical stability ranges are provided in the supplied material.
Minimal Ligand Leaching
The supplied product information states that the ligand is not easily detached from the chromatography medium.
This provides minimal ligand leaching and contributes to the stated long service life of the Blue Series.
Applications
SHBC HardAC Blue can be used for:
Human serum albumin purification
Serum albumin purification
Dehydrogenase purification
Kinase purification
Transferase purification
Interferon purification
Plasma protein purification
General protein purification
Dye affinity chromatography

Dye Affinity Chromatography for Protein Purification
Dye affinity chromatography uses immobilized dye ligands to interact with target proteins.
HardAC Blue uses Cibacron Blue 3GA as its ligand on an agarose-based chromatography medium.
The supplied information states that the medium can interact with proteins through specific interactions as well as nonspecific charge and hydrophobic effects, supporting purification of a broad range of proteins.
HardAC Blue Human Serum Albumin Loading
One of the key specifications differentiating HardAC Blue in the supplied table is its human serum albumin loading:
≥24 mg/mL
This specification can be useful when evaluating a Blue affinity chromatography resin for applications involving serum albumin.
Available Package Sizes
HardAC Blue is available in:
25 mL / 100 mL / 300 mL / 1 L / 5 L / 10 L / 20 L
The package range supports different chromatography processing volumes.
