Dear Jerry, I've just become aware of this spin column to remove endotoxin, marketed by Generon, UK. http://generon.co.uk/index.php?route=product/categorypath=238 Good luck, Jon On Wed, Mar 7, 2012 at 9:50 AM, Jerry McCully

This is in response to a comment to this thread Kevin, Could you explain how that worked? How do you know your method worked? Did you estimate the lipopolysaccharide before and after the method? The method already mentioned here to wash using TritonX100 makes sense. by washing bound protein

To Pius, In my case, the protein/biopolymer is Lysine/amine riched. 1. Lys or Arg are mainly positively charged under pH 7.0 ~ 8.0, and then provide positively charge to LPA. Of course, some metal cations could also be involved in LPA binding. 2. Tris with the NH2 group could also be protonated

In my case, this method was developed for large quantity sample (~100g/batch) purification. Under cGMP, I could not introduce EDTA or other chemicals like Triton-X100 into the system. Otherwise, I just solve small problem but bring into an even large problem to the manufacture line. I hope you

Kevin, thanks.Sine this is of not much interest to many here please feel free to go off line in the future. The method of dialysis is confusing here. How can one achieve this by buffer exchange? I wonder if an extensive wash of protein on a column would work instead. Pius On Thu, Mar 8, 2012

Dear All; We purified a His tag protein by Ni-NTA and gel-filtration from E.coli. We tried two endotoxin removal resins from Pierce. However, it is hard to remove the endotoxins in the purified protein because the protein bound to the resin as well. This

Hi Jerry, We have used 0.05% Triton X-100 in our wash buffer to wash the protein on column (Ni-IMAC for His-tagged proteins and MabSelect for antibodies). 20 column-volumes wash followed by 20 column-volume wash without detergent is typically enough to reduce the endotoxin significantly. I would
