Hemoglobin Removal with NuGel™ Dry-Bead Format

  • Has a high degree of specificity for hemoglobin binding up to 10 mg/ml

  • Removes hemoglobin from any species blood including human, mouse, rat, sheep, bovine, goat, etc

  • Removes hemoglobin from clarified organ/tissue lysates.

  • Hemoglobin removal from red blood cell lysate for proteomics and biomarker drug discovery

  • The flow through fractions (hemoglobin depleted) retain their enzymatic and biological activity

  • Compatible with LC-MS, activity-based profiling and proteomic investigations

  • Validated in the automation compatible high-throughput DPX Technologies XTR tip format

NuGel™ Hemoglobind ™ is a modified version of suspension HemogloBind™, engineered for increased stability and improved installation for high-throughput formats. It is based on NuGel™ silica (50 microns in size, 1000Å) covalently bound to elastomeric polyelectrolytes. Comparable to selection properties of suspension HemogloBind™, at recommended quantities, >95% of hemoglobin can be removed with very high selectivity.

Featured HemogloBind ™ Reference Applications –

Nguyen, Anthony T., et al. " UBE2O remodels the proteome during terminal erythroid differentiation. " Science 357.6350 (2017): eaan0218.

During reticulocyte maturation, the proteome is remodeled through the programmed elimination of most generic constituents of the cell, in parallel with abundant synthesis of hemoglobin. The study used multiplexed quantitative proteomics to identify candidate substrates of UBE2O, an E2 (ubiquitin-conjugating) enzyme, in an unbiased and global manner. Because of the overly abundant presence of Hemoglobin, selective depletion of Hemoglobin was necessary. T he article states “Reticulocytes were lysed by vortexing for 5 minutes at room temperature… An additional 10 bed vol of Hemoglobind™ suspension was added to the samples, which were then vortexed for another 10 min at room temperature followed by 4 min of centrifugation at 10000 x g. The supernatants, which contain hemoglobin-depleted sample, were … processed for TMT quantification. ”.

This study considers that therapeutic strategies targeting cancer-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) hold great promise because of the possibility they reposition microenvironments to accommodate metastasis. The researchers report on a novel strategy of therapeutic antibody treatment to target cancer-derived EVs and inhibit the metastasis of breast cancer in a mouse model. The article states “Hemoglobin was accumulated with HemogloBind™ beads (Biotech support group, Monmouth Junction NJ, USA) followed by 0.22 μm filtration. Then, the EVs in the sera were concentrated by ultracentrifugation…”.

Macromolecular Complexes and Functional Integrity

HemogloBind™ contributed to this rigorous examination of protein complexes. When our products were used as a pretreatment step in the overall workflow, about twice the number of observations and annotations became possible. Furthermore, this study demonstrated the importance of a key feature implicit to all of our products; that is the maintenance of functional and structural integrity after separations. Without that particular feature, these additional observations would not have been possible.

Whole Blood

Lahut, Suna, et al. "Blood RNA biomarkers in prodromal PARK4 and REM sleep behavior disorder show role of complexin-1 loss for risk of Parkinson's disease." Disease Models & Mechanisms (2017): dmm-028035. http://dmm.biologists.org/lookup/doi/10.1242/dmm.028035

In this study, Parkinson’s disease progression is investigated through the accumulation and aggregation of the lipid-binding SNARE complex component alpha-synuclein (SNCA) which underlies vulnerability and defines its stages. The authors studied blood samples from a new large pedigree with SNCA gene duplication (PARK4 mutation), to identify effects of SNCA gain-of-function as potential disease biomarkers. The article states “For protein extraction from the EDTA tubes, 300 μl blood were lysed with equal amount of 1% SDS-RIPA buffer [50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 1 mM EGTA, 1% Igepal CA-630 (Sigma), 0.5% sodium deoxycholate, 0.1% SDS, 1 mM PMSF and one tablet Complete Protease Inhibitor Cocktail (Roche)] and sonicated for 10 sec. The blood lysates were rotated at 4 °C for 30 min and centrifuged at 4 °C for 30 min. The supernatants were depleted in hemoglobin content using a commercial kit (HemogloBind™) following the manufacturer’s instructions”.

Diabetic kidney disease, a common complication of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes, is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, and represents the most common cause of chronic kidney disease. The study hypothesized that protective pentose phosphate pathway action in diabetes might be compromised by limited intracellular availability of an active transketolase cofactor thiamine diphosphate (TDP). To evaluate the levels of thiamine tranporter proteins in whole blood, t
he article states “ For protein isolation, whole blood aliquots were lysed with water and haemoglobin was removed using HemogloBind™ (Biotech Support Group) according to manufacturer’s instructions…”.

" Assessing the therapeutic efficacy of oxime therapies against percutaneous organophosphorus pesticide and nerve agent challenges in the Hartley guinea pig ."The Journal of Toxicological Sciences 40, no. 6 (2015): 759-775.


Acetylcholine is an essential neurotransmitter, and inhibitors of cholinesterases(ChEs) are potent toxins. A primary component of anti-organophosphorus therapy is an oxime reactivator to rescue inhibited acetylcholinesterases. For this, clinical signs of toxicity can be measured from blood cholinesterase [Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE)] activity utilizing a modified Ellman's method. Biotech Support Group’s unique solid-phase polymer for hemoglobin depletion, was used for pretreatment. The article states “Briefly, whole blood samples were treated with HemogloBind™ which interferes with the ChE activity assay due to spectral overlap.”


Craig, J. R., et al. "A comparison of the anatomical and gastrointestinal functional development between gilt and sow progeny around birth and weaning ." Journal of animal science (2019).

Gilt progeny (GP) often have restricted growth performance and health status in comparison to sow progeny (SP) from birth. To better understand underlying mechanisms, the study aimed to compare differences in growth and development between GP and SP in the first 24 h after birth and in the peri-weaning period. Because serum samples were quite hemolysed after collection and processing, it became necessary to use HemogloBind™ to allow for better detection of IgG by ELISA. The article states “As per the manufacturer’s instructions, 250 μL of Hemoglobind was added to 250 μL of hemolyzed serum…

Peptide inhibitor of complement C1 modulates acute intravascular hemolysis of mismatched red blood cells in rats. TRANSFUSION Volume 00, May 2016. doi:10.1111/trf.13674.

In brief, the study evaluated the role of a peptide inhibitor of complement C1 (PIC1) in an animal model of acute intravascular hemolysis in both prevention and rescue scenarios. The authors state "To remove free Hb that may cause optical interference in bilirubin analysis, we treated all the samples with Hb depletion from hemolyzed serum/plasma (HemogloBind, Biotech Support Group). Bilirubin concentration was then measured with a Bilirubin Assay Kit (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO)."
