Dear Remie, I meant application of GF as an ion exchange column. You can use special ion exchange columns, but our lab often uses preparative GF columns for this task. We just load the column, keeping sample volume the void volume. Thus, we do not concentrate a protein before an ion

Hi, There is a gray area, where you would refrain from talking about low-MW contaminants. PEG3350 will be a highly elongated polymer, with way higher hydrodynamic radius than a globular molecule of the same MW. It also will bind a lot of H2O. Hence, it might not go through concentrators (but

Reza, If your protein is not too small (20 kDa), use a spin-column (i.e., desalting column) with G-25 sephedex. It is CHEAP, fast, and the recovery is good. We have even used them to adjust buffer concentrations or to remove micellar detergents; we have used protein concentrations up to 10

Hi Alex, I disagree with you even though GF is always the last step in my purifications. Because it involves concentration before and after the GF so during the concentration you can already be doing the buffer exchange. You use GF when you want to purify other protein impurities if they are
