• Control beads for ensuring the specificity of the immunoprecipitation IP signal
• Allow accurate interpretation of the IP signal

Control beads in IP assays are essential for identifying nonspecific binding, ensuring that any detected signal is due to the specific interaction being studied rather than background noise. They provide a baseline reference, allowing for accurate interpretation and validation of experimental results.

CIG02-beads comprise normal mouse IgG from non-immunized animals that has been covalently attached to agarose beads

Key characteristics

• Antibody concentration on beads ~0.8-1.0 mg/ml
• No heavy/light chain leaching during IP
• Sufficient reagent for 8-10 IP assays (1 mg lysate per IP)
• Recommended control beads for acetyl lysine IPs AAC04-beads
• Consistent lot-to-lot performance
• Supplied as a lyophilized powder
• Buffer composition after rehydration: 200 mM PIPES, 5% sucrose, and 1% dextran
