Performing a separation<br />

Column:<br />

HiTrap Protein A HP, 1 ml or 5 ml, or HiTrap rProtein A FF, 1 ml or 5 ml<br />

Recommended flow rates: 1 ml/min (1 ml columns) or 5 ml/min (5 ml columns)<br />

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

Elution buffer: 0.1 M citric acid, pH 3–6<br />

Neutralization buffer: 1 M Tris-HCl, pH 9.0<br />

Centrifuge samples (10 000 g for 10 minutes) to remove cells <strong>and</strong> debris. Filter through a<br />

0.45 µm filter.<br />

If needed, adjust sample conditions to the pH <strong>and</strong> ionic strength <strong>of</strong> the binding buffer<br />

either by buffer exchange on a desalting column (see page 134) or by dilution <strong>and</strong><br />

pH adjustment.<br />

A HiTrap column can be used with a syringe, a peristaltic pump or connected to a liquid<br />

chromatography system, such as ÄKTAprime.<br />

1. Equilibrate the column with 5 column volumes <strong>of</strong> binding buffer.<br />

2. Apply sample.<br />

3. Wash with 5–10 column volumes <strong>of</strong> the binding buffer to remove impurities <strong>and</strong> unbound material.<br />

Continue until no protein is detected in the eluent (determined by UV absorbance at 280 nm).<br />

4. Elute with 5 column volumes <strong>of</strong> elution buffer.*<br />

5. Immediately re-equilibrate with 5–10 column volumes <strong>of</strong> binding buffer.<br />

*Since elution conditions are quite harsh, collect fractions into neutralization buffer (60 µl – 200 µl 1 M Tris-HCl,<br />

pH 9.0 per ml fraction), so that the final pH <strong>of</strong> the fractions will be approximately neutral.<br />
