Strep-tagged proteins are expressed using the pQE TriSystem Vector and obtained at very high purity from cell lysates using Strep-Tactin Superflow Plus affinity purification procedures. Strep-tagged proteins can be purified using batch or gravity-flow methods, or FPLC-compatible columns can be filled with Strep-Tactin Superflow Plus for purification on liquid chromatography systems. Strep-Tactin Superflow Plus is available in pre-filled 1 ml cartridges and 5 ml cartridges for automated purification on liquid chromatography systems such as the FPLC, ÄkTA, and BioLogic systems, or manual purification using a syringe. For reagents compatible with the Strep-Tactin resins, see table Reagents compatible with the Strep-tag Strep-Tactin interaction.

The C-terminal location of the tag ensures that only full-length proteins are purified. The purification process is highly reproducible, guaranteeing the same high quality protein preparations time after time. Monoclonal Strep-tag antibodies are used to detect Strep-tagged proteins in immunodetection procedures with high sensitivity and specificity.
