*Protein A Sepharose 4 Fast Flow <strong>and</strong> rProtein A Sepharose Fast Flow have a higher binding capacity, a more rigid<br />

matrix <strong>and</strong> provide more convenient alternatives to Protein A Sepharose CL-4B, which must be rehydrated before<br />

column packing.<br />

**See Appendix 4 to convert linear flow (cm/h) to volumetric flow rate. Maximum operating flow is calculated from<br />

measurement in a packed column with a bed height <strong>of</strong> 10 cm <strong>and</strong> i.d. <strong>of</strong> 5 cm.<br />

Purification examples<br />

Figure 17 shows the purification <strong>of</strong> mouse IgG 2b from ascites fluid on HiTrap rProtein A FF<br />

1 ml column using a syringe. The eluted pool contained 1 mg IgG 2b <strong>and</strong> the silver stained<br />

SDS-PAGE gel confirmed a purity level <strong>of</strong> over 95%.<br />

Sample: 1 ml <strong>of</strong> mouse ascites containing IgG 2b , filtered through a 0.45 µm filter.<br />

The sample was a kind gift from Dr. N. Linde, EC Diagnostics, Sweden<br />

Column: HiTrap rProtein A FF 1 ml<br />

Binding buffer: 0.02 M sodium phosphate, pH 7.0<br />

Elution buffer: 0.1 M sodium citrate, pH 3.0<br />
