ET Clean


Introduction

The Cellufine™ ETclean is poly(ε-lysine) immobilized Cellufine™ (cellulose spherical beads). The beads bind and remove endotoxin from your sample solution. The poly(ε-lysine) is a microbial poly(amino acid) that consist of 30-35 lysine residues produced by Streptomyces albulus. The poly(ε-lysine) as ligand and the cellulose beads act as matrix ands are products of Chisso Corporation.
The Cellufine™ ETclean endotoxin removing beads were developed jointly by Kumamoto University and Chisso. The poly(ε-lysine) was immobilized onto chloromethyloxirane-activated cellulose beads. The beads are a stable affinity beads that are resistant against the cleanup solutions, which include 0.2 M sodium hydroxide and 2 M sodium chloride.

The Cellufine™ ETclean can remove endotoxin from a cellular product solution at physiological pH, ionic strength of μ = 0.02-1.0, and 0° -25C°.

*The pore size (molecular weight exclution; Mlim) of the beads was estimated from calibration curves obtained by size exclusion chromatography. Pullulan and maltose were used for the Mlim determination.


Selective adsorption of endotoxin (LPS) from a bovine serum albumin (BSA) solution by Cellufine ETclean beads.


Selective adsorption of endotoxin was determined using a batchwise method with 0.2 g of the wet beads and 2 ml of a sample solution (BSA: 500 μg/ml, E. coli O111: B4 LPS: 100 ng/ml, pH 7.0, ionic strength of μ = 0.05-0.8 ).
