Our ConA- and WGA-coated BioMag®Plus microparticles provide a convenient means for chromatin profiling using the CUT&RUN, developing agglutination assays from serum, or performing immunology studies. The BioMag Plus magnetic particle format provides high surface area, and permits easy and efficient separations. BioMag ConA preferentially binds glycosylated molecules with ?-D-glucose and ?-D-mannose with unmodified -OH groups at C-3, C-4, and C-6. BioMag WGA preferentially binds N-acetyl glucosamine (GlcNAc) dimers and trimers. Both functionalized beads can be used for mammalian and bacterial systems.
