Size exclusion columns
Size exclusion columns are laboratory instruments used for the separation and purification of macromolecules, such as proteins, peptides, and nucleic acids, based on their size and molecular weight. These columns contain a porous stationary phase that allows smaller molecules to penetrate into the pores, while larger molecules pass through the column more rapidly. This size-based separation technique enables the isolation and concentration of target analytes from complex mixtures.

expression was induced by adding 1 mM β-
(IPTG) at an OD600 of 0.8. Cell pellets were resuspended in 20 mL
lysis buffer, followed by sonication (QSONICA Ultrasonic Processor;
12 min, 50% amplitude, 1 s on/off) for cell lysis. Centrifugation
at 12 000 rpm for 45 min at 4 °C (Sorvall LYNX 6000) and
filtration (0.45 μm cellulose acetate syringe filters) was used
to clear the lysates. 5 mL HisTrap columns (GE Healthcare, Vienna,
Austria) for immobilized metal affinity chromatography on an ÄKTA
pure system (GE Healthcare, Vienna, Austria) were used to purify the
proteins. HisTrap columns were equilibrated using lysis buffer. Cleared E. coli lysates were applied to the columns at a flow rate
of 2 mL min–1 and contaminants were removed using
washing buffer. Finally, proteins were eluted with purification buffer.
Proteins were further purified at room temperature using size exclusion
columns (10/300 200 pg, GE Healthcare) on an ÄKTA pure system
(GE Healthcare) with SEC buffer. Finally, protein concentration was
calculated using absorbance at 280 nm, determined by NanoDrop 1000
UV/vis spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Vienna, Austria).
About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
