The streptavidin–biotin interaction has a dissociation constant of about 10\u003csup\u003e−15\u003c\/sup\u003e M, among the strongest non-covalent bonds in biology, which makes it the standard way to capture anything that can be biotinylated: antibodies, antigens, oligonucleotides, proteins and peptides.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 300 nm this is the sub-micron member of the family. The very high surface-area-to-volume ratio gives it the highest oligonucleotide capacity in the range, and the particles stay suspended long enough for near-homogeneous binding kinetics rather than the settling behaviour of larger beads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBinding capacity at 300 nm\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBiotinylated single-stranded oligonucleotide (24 nt): \u003cstrong\u003e≥450 pmol per mg of beads\u003c\/strong\u003e — the highest in the BeaverBeads Streptavidin range, matched only by the 1 µm bead. Biotinylated IgG: \u003cstrong\u003e≥15 µg per mg of beads\u003c\/strong\u003e. Supplied at 10 mg\/mL.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe trade-off is separation speed. Sub-micron superparamagnetic particles respond more slowly to the same magnetic field than micron beads, so every separation step takes longer. If your workflow is dominated by wash cycles rather than by capacity, the 2 µm bead (Cat. 22305) is usually the better choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNucleic acid work.\u003c\/strong\u003e The high oligonucleotide capacity makes this the size of choice for isolating nucleic acids, preparing nucleic acid probes, and hybridisation capture of DNA and RNA with biotinylated probes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProtein–nucleic acid interaction.\u003c\/strong\u003e Biotinylated DNA or RNA fragments immobilised on the beads are used to pull down and identify the proteins that bind them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImmunoassay and chemiluminescence.\u003c\/strong\u003e Used as the solid phase in magnetic particle chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) and ELISA.

The full protocol is in the user manual under Documents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHandling and safety\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo not freeze or dry the beads.\u003c\/strong\u003e Vortex for about 20 seconds to a uniform suspension before every use — sub-micron beads settle during storage. Allow extra time on the magnetic separator and confirm the supernatant is clear before discarding it. The preservative contains ProClin-300 and BSA; if either interferes with your assay, wash the beads into your own buffer before starting. Keep beads and separators away from metal objects, electronic devices and implanted electronic devices such as cardiac pacemakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor Research Use Only.\u003c\/strong\u003e Not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures.
