Hi,

Could you not carry out Ammonium Sulfate precipitation to concentrate the protein? I never did it myself so I have no idea if it's practical in this case. Maybe it's still worth mentioning, though.

Stirred cell from Milipore is very useful for concentrating big volumes of 
protein solution. There are cells from 3 to 400 mL. Ultrafiltration is 
performed through the membrane  with high pressure by connecting to  inert gas 
(nitrogen). It is very fast and comfortable technique. Here are more 
information: http://www.millipore.com/catalogue/module/C3259

Liter Scale

An anion exchange column with a large enough bed volume might be used to
concentrate the protein. You probably need to change the pH of the
solution so that the protein sticks to the column.

Dear Dr Ku,

It was a wonderful idea! However, the refolding buffer contained 500mM
L-Arg and 1mM EDTA.

And I want to try other affinity columns, just don't know what resin
would be appropriate.

        Can you put a 6His-tag on your protein and add some Ni-NTA
        beads to your solution to capture (and concentrate) the
        properly folded molecules?



        Quoting "Xuan Yang" <pattisy...@gmail.com>:

                Dear All,

                I am working on protein refolding via dialysis in
                large volumn
                (typically 2~4 litters). It was problematic when I
                wanted to concentrate the
                solution to at least less than 500ml. If you know any
                device appropriate for
                such task, please help me out:)

                Thanks in advance!

                Sincerely,

                Xuan Yang
