Epoxy-Activated Agarose is preactivated resin used for affinity chromatography. Epoxy-Activated Agarose comprise of high density epoxy groups that form covalent bonds with ligand s containing amine groups, thiol or hydroxyl groups.

Epoxide-Acivated Agarose is prepared by immobilization of oxiranes such as 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether onto matrix. This pre-activated resin provide hydrophilic 12 atom spacer arm which enables binding of small ligand molecules such as amino acids, monosaccharide, peptides and carbohydrates.

Epoxy-Activated Agarose find widespread application in affinity chromatography involving purification of antigen, antibody, lectin, glycoproteins etc.
