Buffer exchange on HiTrap Desalting
1
Preparing the buffers
•
Use high purity water and chemicals.
•
Filter all buffers through a 0.45 µm filter before use.
Buffer (port A1):
20 mM sodium phosphate, 0.15 M NaCl, pH 7.0
*
Prepare at least 500 ml eluent.
* When performing buffer exchange use the appropriate buffer.
2
Preparing the sample
Pass the sample through a 0.45 µm filter.
The maximum recommended sample volume is 1.5 ml.
3
Preparing the system
a) Place the inlet tubing from port A1 (8-port valve)
and port B (2-port valve) in the buffer.
b) Place the three brown waste tubings in waste.
c) Connect the column between port 1 on the injection
valve (7-port valve) and the UV flow cell (see Ordering
information on next page for suitable columns).
d) Fill the fraction collector rack with 18 mm tubes
(minimum 20) and position the white plate on the
fractionation arm against the first tube.
e) Connect a sample loop large enough for your sample
between port 2 and 6 on the injection valve. Use a
syringe to manually fill the loop.
Note: If the same sample is applied repeatedly, a
Superloop™ can be used. For information of how to
use it see the instructions for the Superloop.
