Gel Filtration Media Support
Rapid and efficient removal of small molecules from nucleic acids
Gel filtration media are used for the analysis of molecular size, separations of components in the mixture, salt removal or buffer exchange for a preparation of macromolecules.
Porex provides media support that holds the functionalized stationary phase in place, ensuring repeatable column performance. POREX® gel filtration media:
- Inert and functionalized porous membrane delivers quick and efficient desalting, buffer exchange and removal of low molecular weight compounds.
- Provide enhanced functionality through surface modification or sorbent additions such as CPG, carbon, C8 or C18.
- Are design optimized for purification and desalting of oligonucleotides, proteins, small molecules from nucleic acids etc.
- Tested by independent laboratories – CERTIFIED PURE POREX® materials ensure performance, accuracy and reproducibility.
