AMG Coupling Kit
for 200 nm Magnetic Particles
AI-LNPCKMP-06.00
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Coupling Kit
200 nm Magnetic Particles
Antibody Concentration: The concentration range for coupling
antibody is 25 - 100 µg/mg particles, with a determined maximal
binding capacity up to 100 µg/mg particles. Antibody coupling
concentration is best optimised as this can vary depending on the
protein used.
This product is for Laboratory Use Only
Provided Materials
AMG Coupling Kits utilise Mix&Go™ technology to stably bind
biomolecules of interest to functionalised polymer magnetic
particles. Mix&Go allows proteins to bind faster and with more
functionality. AMG Coupling Kits provide enhanced loading
capacity for the capture of the target molecules and downstream
applications use. The particles are provided fully activated with
Mix&Go and are ready to use, with general buffer solutions
known to work for a majority of applications.
AMG Coupling Kits are suitable for a range of magnetic,
fluorescent
and
chemiluminescent
immunoassays
and
purification applications using biomolecules including proteins,
peptides, antigens and antibodies.

Standard precautions exercised when handling laboratory
reagents should be adhered to. Refer to the Coupling Kit MSDS
for safety precautions.
Product Compatibility
Assay Compatibility: Particles are compatible with the majority
of existing uses and protocols. This allows for easy substitution of
the AMG Coupling Kit into your application of choice.
Kit Reagent Compatibility: Pre-activated particles are stable
under the provided conditions, however the presence of certain
materials, at the time of coupling, will interfere with and reduce
the coupling efficiency. It is recommended to use the provided
Coupling Buffer and reduce the presence of these reagents
during coupling as much as practically possible. For information
on interfering materials visit the Anteo Technologies website
(www.anteotech.com).
Always determine optimal conditions for your protein of interest.
Antibody Coupling Procedure
The following procedure is an example of how to couple antibody
to the particles and states only general conditions. Protocols for
antibodies or proteins of interest should be optimised to meet
individual requirements. Additional information may be found on
the Anteo Technologies website (www.anteotech.com).
Vortex the stock particles on high for 10 seconds.
Sonicate the stock particles for 5 minutes.
Aliquot 100 µL (1 mg) of the particle suspension to a
1.5 mL tube.
Place the tube on the magnetic separator for up to 5
minutes.
 Helpful Hint:
When separating magnetic particles from supernatant, it
is recommended to put the tube containing the particles
on the magnetic separator until the supernatant is clear
(up to 5 minutes), and carefully remove the supernatant
so as not to disturb the particle pellet. Low strength
magnets will take longer to form a pellet or may leave
residue on the tube.
5.
6.
7.
Remove and discard the supernatant from the tube.
Remove tube from magnet and add 100 µL of Coupling
Buffer to the tube.
Resuspend the particles by vortexing on high for 10
seconds.
 Helpful Hint:
Particles may partially aggregate and appear to stick on
the tube at this stage. This is the normal process
whereby the surface is equilibrating to the Coupling
Buffer conditions for subsequent coupling of your protein.
8.
9.
Repeat above wash steps 4 - 7 once (2 washes total).
Place the tube on the magnetic separator for up to 5
minutes.
10. Remove and discard the supernatant from the tube.
11. Resuspend the particles in 100 µL of Coupling Buffer.
By vortexing on high for 10 seconds.

Storage and Stability
Antibody Coupling
 Helpful Hint:
Particles may aggregate during coupling. This may be
part of the normal process whereby the surface during
coupling is interacting with your protein of interest. There
may be a need for optimisation of the coupling
conditions. Particles can be dispersed by 5-minute
incubations in a bath sonicator.
12. Prepare 100 µL of antibody at the required final
concentration in Coupling Buffer in a fresh 1.5 mL tube.
13. Aspirate the prepared particles.
14. Add the particles to the antibody solution.
15. Vortex on high for 10 seconds, and sonicate for 5
minutes. This results in 200 µL total volume, and
particles are at 5 mg/mL.
16. Incubate for 60 minutes at room temperature on a tube
rotator, keeping the particles in suspension.
Blocking
Blocking is recommended for all particles, particularly those that
are not fully coupled with protein; and/or for particles that are to
be used in downstream applications where complex mixtures are
used. Blocking should be assessed depending on the end use
and if non-specific binding is encountered.
17. Vortex particles for 30 seconds.
 Helpful Hint:
Sonicate the particles for 5 minutes if aggregation is
observed.
18. Add 20 µL of the Blocking Buffer to the tube.
19. Incubate for 60 minutes at room temperature on a tube
rotator.
Particle Storage
20. Vortex particles for 30 seconds.
21. Place the tube on the magnetic separator for up to 5
minutes.
22. Remove and discard the supernatant from the tube.
23. Remove tube from magnet and add 200 µL of Storage
Buffer to the tube.
24. Resuspend the particles by vortexing on high for 10
seconds.
25. Repeat above wash steps 20 - 24 once (2 washes
total).
26. Place the tube on the magnetic separator for up to 5
minutes.
27. Remove and discard the supernatant from the tube.
28. Remove tube from magnet and add 100 µL of Storage
Buffer to the tube.
29. Resuspend the particles by vortexing on high for 10
seconds.
30. Sonicate particles for 5 minutes.
31. Repeat above steps 29 - 30 once (2 sonication steps
total).
32. The particles are stably coupled with protein and ready
for use at a final concentration of 10 mg/mL. Particles
may be used immediately or stored at 2°C to 8ºC.
 Helpful Hint:
The unopened product should be stored at 2°C to 8°C.
Remaining materials should be retained in the supplied container
and sealed for future use.
Product Information
Observed reproducibility of particles in this kit, with intra- and
inter-assay protein loading with mouse IgG is <15% CV.
Activated particles have been quantified using mouse IgG
binding capacity titration (refer to Table 1).
The monodispersity of particles refers to the level of
aggregation. As particles aggregate, the Polydispersity Index
(PdI) increases. Activated particles are assessed by Zetasizer
to determine the level of dispersion of the particles (refer to
Table 1).
