BabyBio S 
BabyBio Q  
BabyBio DEAE 

BabyBio™ S, BabyBio Q and BabyBio DEAE are ready-to-use ion exchange chromatography columns 
for  easy  and  convenient  purification  of  proteins,  peptides  and  oligonucleotides,  by  utilizing  the 
difference in these molecules surface charge. BabyBio S works as a strong cation exchanger, BabyBio 
Q  as  a  strong  anion  exchanger  and  BabyBio  DEAE  as  a  weak  anion  exchanger.  The  columns  are 
prepacked with WorkBeads™ 40S, WorkBeads 40Q and WorkBeads 40 DEAE resins, and are available 
in two column sizes, 1 ml and 5 ml.  

 

Prepacked ready-to-use columns for fast and reliable results  

 

High binding capacity and purity 

 

Easy-to-use for screening of conditions 

 

 

Short protocol 

This  general  short  protocol  is  for  the  use  of  BabyBio  S,  BabyBio  Q  and  BabyBio  DEAE  columns.  Detailed 
instructions and recommendations for optimization are given later in this instruction. Recommended and useful 
buffers are listed in Table 3. BabyBio S columns are suitable for basic proteins, i.e. proteins with a high isoelectric 
point  (pI),  while  BabyBio  Q  and  BabyBio  DEAE  columns  are  suitable  for  purification  of  acidic  proteins,  i.e. 
proteins with low pI.  
 

1.

 

Choose a suitable pH and buffer for the binding of the target protein. One pH unit below pI (BabyBio S 
columns) or above pI (BabyBio Q and BabyBio DEAE columns) is a good starting point. 

2.

 

Connect the column to the chromatography system, syringe or pump. 

3.  Equilibrate the column with 10 column volumes (CV) 20 - 50 mM binding buffer at the chosen pH. 
4.  Apply a clarified sample to the column at low ionic strength and the chosen pH (similar to the binding 

buffer) to allow binding of the target protein. 

5.  Wash the column using 10 - 20 CV binding buffer. 
6.  Elute the target protein. 

Alternative 1

: Desorb the target protein with 5 CV elution buffer. 

Alternative 2

: For increased purity, gradient elution is recommended. For example, use a gradient from 

0 to 100% with 20 CV binding buffer including 1 M NaCl.  

7.  Clean the column using 0.5 - 1.0 M NaOH for 15 - 30 minutes (optional). 
8.  Wash the column with 5 CV deionized water to remove the cleaning solution.  
9.  Equilibrate with 10 CV 20% ethanol for storage. Close the column using the included cap and plug.
