(57) [Summary]nDisclosed are compositions and methods for avidin immobilized on an inert support material, such as agarose. The composition has a high activity level of avidin and further comprises a bulking agent such as maltose and a protective agent to maintain the safety and integrity of avidin agarose during the lyophilization and terminal sterilization processes. Including. These compositions have utility wherever avidin, agarose and / or avidin / biotin technology is useful. In particular, the present compositions are useful in enzyme capture systems for preparing useful fibrin monomers for fibrin glues. |
