Section 2
Anion Exchange Separation of Protein
Standards
The starter kit allows you to learn how to use the BioLogic Duo-Flow
System by programming and running a separation of a premixed anion
exchange standard containing equine myoglobin, conalbumin, chicken
ovalbumin and soybean trypsin inhibitor, using a 1.3 ml UNO Q1 Column
*
.
Equine myoglobin is not retained on the UNO Q1 Column and elutes in
the void volume. Conalbumin, chicken ovalbumin and soybean trypsin
inhibitor bind to the column and require increased salt concentrations for
elution. Separation requires approximately 6 minutes.
