What is Mono Q chromatography?

What is Mono Q chromatography?

Chromatography Columns. Mono Q is a strong anion exchanger pre-packed with MonoBeads™ in a Tricorn™ column. It is an excellent choice for small scale polishing in purification of proteins, peptides and other biomolecules when high purity is required.

How do you clean a Mono Q column?

Clean the column after filter change according to regular cleaning. over the column 40 ml elution buffer at a flow rate of 2 ml/min through the column. Return to normal flow direction and run for 10 minutes at 4 ml/min. If high back- pressure persists, clean the column.

How do you clean a protein purification column?

Examples of cleaning procedures:

  1. Wash with 4 column volumes of up to 70% ethanol or 30% isopropanol (see Table 21 for recommended flow).
  2. Rinse with at least 2 column volumes of distilled water (see Table 21 for recommended flow) until the UV-baseline and eluent pH are stable.

How do you elute cation exchange chromatography?

The Technique

  1. An impure protein sample is loaded into the ion exchange chromatography column at a particular pH.
  2. Charged proteins will bind to the oppositely charged functional groups in the resin.
  3. A salt gradient is used to elute separated proteins.
  4. Unwanted proteins and impurities are removed by washing the column.

What is Q Sepharose?

Q Sepharose® Fast Flow is a strong anion exchanger based on the well established Sepharose® Fast Flow ion exchange platform, extensively used for preparative protein separations in both research and industrial applications.

What is Q column?

HiTrap Q HP is a strong anion exchange chromatography column for high-resolution, small-scale protein purification. RESOURCE Q columns are prepacked with SOURCE 15Q, a strong anion exchanger for high resolution polishing purification of proteins at high flow rates.

How does Q Sepharose work?

The charged group of Q-Sepharose is a quarternary amine which carries a non- titratable positive charge. This matrix can be used at alkaline pH values at which the positive charge of the DEAE group would have been titrated. The charged group of S-Sepharose is the sulphonyl group (-SO3¯).

How do you wash Q Sepharose?

Wash with at least 2 column volumes of 2 M NaCl at 1 mL/min (HiTrap 1 mL), 5 mL/min (HiTrap 5 mL), 5 mL/min (HiPrep 20 mL) or at 40 cm/h with a contact time of 1–2 hours for Sepharose Fast Flow packed in larger columns. Wash with at least 4 column volumes of 1 M NaOH (same flow as step 1).

How does protein purification work?

Protein purification is a series of processes intended to isolate one or a few proteins from a complex mixture, usually cells, tissues or whole organisms. The purification process may separate the protein and non-protein parts of the mixture, and finally separate the desired protein from all other proteins.

How does a cation exchange work?

Cation exchange chromatography is a form of ion exchange chromatography (IEX), which is used to separate molecules based on their net surface charge. Cation exchange chromatography, more specifically, uses a negatively charged ion exchange resin with an affinity for molecules having net positive surface charges.

Which protein will elute first?

If a buffer containing more than one protein is used with an anion exchange resin, then the most negatively-charged protein will be most attracted to the stationary phase and will therefore elute last and the protein with the highest positive charge will elute first.

What is Sepharose made of?

It is composed of crosslinked 6% agarose beads, with quaternary ammonium (Q) strong anion exchange groups. Q Sepharose Fast Flow has high chemical stability, allowing well proven cleaning-in-place (CIP) and sanitization protocols.

What does Mono Q anion exchange column do?

Mono Q columns are prepacked with MonoBeads Q resin, a strong anion exchanger for high-performance ion exchange chromatography (IEX) of proteins, peptides, polynucleotides, and other biomolecules.

Which is better Mono Q or minibeads column?

Greater loading capacity but slightly lower resolution than with MiniBeads columns. Mono Q columns are prepacked with MonoBeads Q resin, a strong anion exchanger for high-performance ion exchange chromatography (IEX) of proteins, peptides, polynucleotides, and other biomolecules. MonoBeads is a polystyrene/divinyl benzene resin.

What kind of chromatography is Mono Q used for?

Mono Q are strong anion exchange chromatography columns for protein analysis or small scale, high resolution polishing of proteins.

How are laboratory tests used to diagnose mono?

Diagnosing Infectious Mononucleosis. Healthcare providers typically diagnose infectious mononucleosis based on symptoms. Laboratory tests are not usually needed to diagnose infectious mononucleosis. However, specific laboratory tests may be needed to identify the cause of illness in people who do not have a typical case of infectious mononucleosis.
