Description
Anti-Flag magnetic beads is based on hydroxyl magnetic beads covalently coupling with high quality recombinant mouse monoclonal antibody. With high loading of Flag-tagged protein (more than 0.6 mg protein/mL) and high specificity, it is recommended to use for co-immunoprecipitation and protein purification.

Protocol
Trouble Shooting
| Problem | Possible Reason | Suggested Improvement |
|---|
| High background | Nonspecifically binding of proteins to the antibody, megnetic beads or EP tubes | Pre-clear lysate to remove nonspecific binding proteins.
After suspending beads for the final wash, transfer the entire sample to a clean EP tube and then magnetic separation. |
| Washing times are not sufficient. | Increase the number of washes.
Increase duration time of washes. |
| No signal is observed. | Flag tagged protein is not expressed in the sample. | Make sure the protein of interest contains the FLAG sequence.
Prepare the fresh lysate.
Use appropriate protease inhibitors. |
| Incubation times are inadequate. | Increase the incubation times. |
| Interfering substance is present in sample. | The lysate may contain high concentrations of dithiothreitol (DTT), 2-mercaptoethanol, or other reducing agents.
Excessive detergent concentration may interfere with the antibody-antigen interaction. |
