Akadeum’s streptavidin microbubbles are high-buoyancy particles for use in targeting, capturing, and sorting cells, bacteria, viruses, or molecular analytes from common samples in the life sciences. Microbubbles come shipped ready for conjugation to biotinylated antibodies or other biomolecules.
Custom conjugation may also be possible. Contact us for more details.
To purchase, contact us at info@akadeum.com or call us at 734-707-1233.
Streptavidin microbubbles are shipped in a bottle containing 13.5 mL of Streptavidin Microbubbles, enough to process 1 billion cells in a typical cell isolation (this may vary by the sample and cell type). Store at 4oC.
To purchase, contact us at info@akadeum.com or call us at 734-707-1233.
With a density of 0.6 g/cm3, Akadeum microbubbles rapidly lift target cells to the top of the sample (typically less than 10 minutes in a microcentrifuge tube, 15 minutes in a 15 mL conical tube).
Microbubbles are functionalized with ~ 200,000 streptavidin sites per particle (0.17 nmol sites/mg of bubbles).
Beads can be functionalized with biotinylated antibodies or other biomolecules. Binding efficiency can be confirmed with flow cytometry by staining with a fluorescent secondary antibody.
Once conjugated, microbubbles bind specific cells and are gently and rapidly separated from complex samples. Microbubbles are compatible with common protein and nucleic acid isolation preps.
