Purification using HisTrap Kit<br />

HisTrap Kit includes everything needed for 12 purifications using a syringe. Three ready to<br />

use HiTrap Chelating HP 1 ml columns <strong>and</strong> ready-made buffer concentrates are supplied<br />

with easy-to-follow instructions.<br />

Cleaning<br />

Removal <strong>of</strong> nickel ions before re-charging or storage:<br />

1. Wash with 5 column volumes <strong>of</strong> 20 mM sodium phosphate, 0.5 M NaCl,<br />

0.05 M EDTA, pH 7.4.<br />

2. Wash with 10 column volumes <strong>of</strong> distilled water.<br />

3. For storage, wash with 5 column volumes <strong>of</strong> 20% ethanol.<br />

Removal <strong>of</strong> precipitated proteins:<br />

1. Fill column with 1 M NaOH <strong>and</strong> incubate for 2 hours.<br />

2. Wash out dissolved proteins with 5 column volumes <strong>of</strong> water <strong>and</strong> a buffer at pH 7.0<br />

until the pH <strong>of</strong> the flow-through reaches pH 7.0.<br />

*Long term refers to the pH interval over which the medium is stable over a long period <strong>of</strong> time without adverse effects<br />

on its subsequent chromatographic performance. Short term refers to the pH interval for regeneration, cleaning-in-place<br />

<strong>and</strong> sanitization procedures.<br />

Chemical stability<br />

Stable in all commonly used aqueous buffers <strong>and</strong> denaturants such as 6 M guanidine<br />

hydrochloride <strong>and</strong> 8 M urea.<br />

Storage<br />

Wash media <strong>and</strong> columns with 20% ethanol at neutral pH (use approximately 5 column<br />

volumes for packed media) <strong>and</strong> store at +4 to +8 °C.<br />

The column must be recharged with metal ions after long term storage to reactivate<br />

the medium.<br />
