Cibacron Blue 3GA Affinity Ligand
HardAC Blue F uses Cibacron Blue 3GA as the affinity ligand.
According to the supplied Blue Series information, the ligand is immobilized on an agarose-based chromatography medium and provides interactions with a broad range of proteins.
This makes the resin suitable for multiple protein separation and purification applications.
Human Serum Albumin Loading
The specified human serum albumin loading is:
≥24 mg/mL
This specification is specifically referenced to human serum albumin in the supplied product table.
It should not be treated as a universal binding capacity for every protein.
Broad Protein Interaction
According to the supplied product information, Blue Series chromatography media can bind proteins through specific interactions.
Additional nonspecific interactions may include:
Charge interactions
Hydrophobic interactions
These different interaction mechanisms contribute to the broad application range of the Blue affinity chromatography series.
Human Serum Albumin Purification
HardAC Blue F provides ≥24 mg/mL human serum albumin loading.
Serum albumin is specifically identified among the applications of the Blue Series, making HardAC Blue F suitable for relevant albumin separation and purification workflows.
Enzyme Purification
The supplied Blue Series information lists several types of enzymes that can be purified using this chromatography medium, including:
Dehydrogenases
Kinases
Transferases
HardAC Blue F can therefore be used in suitable enzyme purification applications.
Interferon Purification
The supplied product information also identifies interferons among the proteins suitable for purification using the Blue Series.
HardAC Blue F provides another dye affinity chromatography option for suitable interferon purification workflows.
Plasma Protein Purification
HardAC Blue F can also be used for plasma protein purification.
The broad protein interaction characteristics of Cibacron Blue 3GA support affinity chromatography applications involving selected plasma proteins.
Physical and Chemical Stability
The Blue Series is described as providing good physical and chemical stability.
This supports the use of HardAC Blue F in protein chromatography workflows where stable affinity media are required.
No numerical stability range is provided in the supplied information.
Minimal Ligand Leaching
According to the supplied information, the Blue Series ligand is not easily detached.
This provides minimal ligand leaching and contributes to the stated long service life of the chromatography medium.
Applications
SHBC HardAC Blue F 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
Protein downstream purification
Product Advantages
HardAC Blue F combines:
Cibacron Blue 3GA ligand
Agarose-based chromatography medium
≥24 mg/mL human serum albumin loading
Broad protein interaction characteristics
Specific affinity interactions
Charge interactions
Hydrophobic interactions
Good physical and chemical stability
Minimal ligand leaching
Long service life

Dye Affinity Chromatography
Dye affinity chromatography uses immobilized dye ligands to interact with target proteins.
HardAC Blue F uses Cibacron Blue 3GA on an agarose-based chromatography medium.
According to the supplied information, proteins can interact with the medium through specific affinity interactions as well as nonspecific charge and hydrophobic interactions.
This enables the Blue Series to be used for purification of different types of proteins.
HardAC Blue F vs. HardAC Blue
According to the supplied table, both products have the same specified human serum albumin loading.
