Heparin is a linear and highly sulfated glycosaminoglycan which has anti-coagulant properties. Due to its polyanionic nature, heparin interacts with a wide range of biomolecules including plasma coagulation proteins, lipoprotein lipase, collagenase, and DNA polymerase. Immobilized heparin is widely used as an adsorbent in affinity chromatography for the purification of biological substances.

NanoMicro offers two Heparin affinity resins, UniGel-65Heparin and NM90Agarose Heparin, with different matrices. UniGel-65Heparin has monodisperse polymethacrylate matrix of UniGel, and hence provides superior mechanic strength for fast flow operation. Due to its overall robust performance, UniGel-65Heparin is a good choice not only for bioprocessing heparin affinity chromatography resin but also for sample preparation sorbent.

NM90 Agarose Heparin is based on crosslinked agarose and has competitive binding capacity. NM90Agarose Heparin is a good alternative choice when high flow rate is not needed in the chromatography process .
