FabRICATOR®Kit
FabRICATOR
® utilizes the unique specificity of a novel proteolytic enzyme that cleaves IgG at the same place in the hinge region creating pure F(ab')2 fragments without any further degradation. The FabRICATOR
®Kit provides not only precise antibody fragments, but also simple and rapid purification of F(ab')2 fragments in a single step utilizing magnetic particles. With the FabRICATOR
®Kit IgG is cleaved and purified F(ab’)2 fragments are available in less than 1h.
Production of F(ab')2 Using FabRICATOR®Kit

The FabRICATOR
®Kit contains:
- One vial of Reagent 1: FabRICATOR®
- One vial of Reagent 2: Magnetic particles carrying protein A
- One test tube holder with a magnet for magnetic separation of Fc fragments
Procedure:
- Mix IgG with Reagent 1 in a test tube and incubate 30 min at 37°C.
- Add Reagent 2 and incubate 15-30 min at room temperature.
- Put the sample on the magnet, let the particles separate, and transfer the supernatant into a clean reaction vessel. The supernatant contains only F(ab’)2 fragments.

- FabRICATOR® Kit 2000 u contains enough Reagent 1 and 2 to cleave and purify 2 mg of IgG and a test tube holder with a magnet.
- FabRICATOR® Kit 5000 u contains enough Reagent 1 and 2 to cleave and purify 5 mg of IgG and a test tube holder with a magnet.
- FabRICATOR® Refill Kit 2000 u and 5000 u contains enough Reagent 1 and 2 to cleave and purify 2 mg and 5 mg of IgG, respectively.
NOTE! The refill kits
do not include the test tube holder with a magnet that is inluded in the FabRICATOR
® Test Kit, FabRICATOR
® Kit 2000 u and FabRICATOR
® Kit 5000 u. The test tube holder with a magnet is necessary for the kit to work. If you already have purchased one of the FabRICATOR
® Kits and you have a holder, you can purchase one of the Refill kits.
