Optimization of washing and elution 

Prolonged wash 
A continuously decreasing UV signal during washing is an indication of unbound material being washed out (it 
may be target substance if it is weakly bound). Washing should be continued until the UV absorbance signal has 
reached 0.01-0.02 (“10-20 mAU”). A BabyBio column should be washed with at least 10 CV buffer.  
 
Optimizing elution conditions  
Elution can be carried out using a high salt concentration or by altering the pH to change the charge of the 
adsorbed protein. A stronger binding may require higher salt concentration for elution. 
 
Step elution 
The optimal salt concentration is dependent on purity and recovery requirements as well as properties of the 
target protein and the sample. Using a gradient elution gives increased purity than step elution, but step elution 
may be necessary to obtain the highest possible concentration of the target protein. In order to optimize the 
salt concentration for step elution an initial gradient test run can be carried out to identify a suitable step elution 
conditions for purification of the target protein, see Figure 3. 
 
Note: Remember to take the system dead volume into account when comparing the print out of the gradient 
and the trace.
