Concanavalin A Plates

All lots are tested for uniformity and reproducibility Certificate of Quality is released for every lot

Concanavalin A Coated Plates are designed for the specific binding of carbohydrate fractions in glycoproteins, enzymes, and cell membranes. Derived from Canavalia ensiformis (jack bean), Concanavalin A is a lectin commonly used for isolating glyco-conjugates and glycoproteins with specific carbohydrate structures. These plates provide a highly sensitive platform for ELISA assays and are ideal for applications involving glycoproteins, glycopeptides, enzyme-antibody conjugates, as well as interactions with polysaccharides, glycolipids, cell membranes, hormones, and hormone receptors. Their versatility makes them a reliable tool for assays focused on carbohydrate-protein interactions.
