Are the Protein A Magnetic Beads #73778 and the Protein G Magnetic Beads #70024 hydrophilic or hydrophobic?

The base particle of the Protein A Magnetic Beads #73778 and the Protein G Magnetic Beads #70024 is somewhat hydrophilic. It is difficult to predict the hydrophilicity or hydrophobicity of the protein coated particle, whether it be Protein A or Protein G. However, because the base bead is considered hydrophilic, it is safe to assume the protein coating the beads is hydrophobic because the hydrophilic side chains will associate to the bead base particle.
