Q: What is the difference between HemogloBind and HemoVoid?

A: Thank you very much for your interest in HemogloBind™ and HemoVoid™. Biotech Support Group has two types of of hemoglobin removal agents. HemogloBind™ is engineered for a high degree of hemoglobin binding selectivity and does not cross react with most common serum components. HemogloBind™'s binding capacity for hemoglobin is approximately 10mg/ml of hemoglobin. HemogloBind™ is used mostly on hemolysed serum. HemoVoid™ does not bind to hemoglobin but does bind to other proteins. So it removes hemoglobin from erythrocyte lysate samples while concentrating low abundance, and/or low molecular weight proteins. HemoVoid™ is used mostly on red cell lysates for proteomic studies of the preserved enzymes that are retained in elution fractions.
