Narcissus pseudonarcissus (NPA) (Agarose)

Purified Narcissus pseudonarcissus (NPA) covalently linked to agarose beads (exclusion limit MW 5-15 million).||Lectins are derived from the extracts of plants, animals, viruses and microorganisms and are known to agglutinate red blood cells. These agglutinins can select cell types according to blood group activities utilizing sugar-binding mechanisms. ||Lectins form precipitates with glycoconjugates and are useful for identifying or separating oligosaccharides with identical sugar compositions such as galactose, mannose or glucose.||Bead Size: 50-250 microns||Spacer: None||Linkage: Imidoester||Carbohydrate for Elution: 0.1M Mannose in Buffer.||Storage and Stability: |May be stored at 4°C. For long-term storage, aliquot and store at 4°C. Do not freeze. Aliquots are stable for 6 months. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
