GST Focurose 4FF is suitable for the separation and purification of GST-tagged proteins, glutathione S-transferase (GST), or glutathione-dependent proteins. Prepacked columns require the use of a chromatography system, peristaltic pump, or syringe.
Features
Fast and simple (one-step purification)
High capacity, fast flow rate, and easy scale-up
Gentle elution conditions that preserve the biological activity of the protein

Frequently Asked Questions and Solutions
Issue | Possible Causes | Solutions |
Target protein does not bind or has low binding capacity during purification | 1. Overloading of sample | Reduce the sample load |
2. Sample flow rate is too fast | Lower the sample flow rate | |
3. Protein or lipids aggregate in the resin, affecting binding | Efficiently clean the resin or replace with a new resin | |
4. Sample inactivates during ultrasonic disruption | Use milder conditions for ultrasonic disruption | |
5. pH of the sample or equilibration buffer is outside the correct range | Ensure that the pH of the sample and equilibration buffer is within 6.5-8.0 | |
6. Expression conditions are too harsh, causing conformational changes in the target molecule, preventing its binding to the matrix | It is recommended to include an empty vector as a control for expression and purification | |
7. Target substance aggregates | Add 1-10 mM DTT before disruption | |
Not collecting the target protein during elution or collecting only a small amount of the target protein. | 1. Target protein does not bind to the resin or has low binding capacity | First, confirm if the target protein binds to the resin |
2. Unsuitable elution conditions | Increase the concentration of GSH to 20-40 mM and ensure that the elution buffer has a pH within the range of 8.0-9.0 | |
3. Insufficient elution time | Lower the flow rate and extend the retention time of the elution buffer | |
4. Elution volume is too small | Increase the elution volume | |
5. The target protein aggregates and precipitates under elution conditions | Determine the solubility and stability of the target protein in the elution buffer (pH and salt concentration). Try adding some additives to the elution buffer, such as 0.1%Triton X-100 or 2%N-octyl glucoside | |
Target protein purity is low | 1. Sample not pre-processed | The sample must be centrifuged or filtered before loading onto the column |
2. The sample has high viscosity | Dilute the sample with an appropriate equilibration buffer to reduce viscosity | |
3. Incomplete removal of impurities | Increase the washing volume until the baseline stabilizes and matches the equilibration buffer | |
4. Impurities such as proteins or lipids aggregate and precipitate in the resin | Clean the resin promptly and effectively | |
5. Poor elution conditions, such as excessively fast flow rate or steep gradient | Optimize the elution conditions | |
6. Degradation of the target substance | Assess the stability of the target substance | |
7. Poor column packing | Repack the column or purchase a new one | |
8. Non-specific adsorption between impurities and the resin | Select appropriate additives to reduce non-specific adsorption | |
9. Large sample volume stored at the top of the separation column | Repack the column or reduce the sample storage volume | |
10. Microbial growth in the resin | After using the resin, store it correctly and promptly to prevent microbial growth. | |
Decrease in resin loading | 1. Too fast sample flow rate | Reduce the sample flow rate |
2. Aggregation of proteins or lipids in the resin resulting in decreased loading |
Clean the resin promptly | |
3. Excessive usage causing oxidation or detachment of the ligand | Clean the matrix promptly or replace with a new matrix | |
Rapid increase in chromatographic peak | Overly tight packing of the resin | Repack the column |
Slow or tailing chromatographic peak | Loose packing of the resin | Repack the column |
Cracks or dryness in the column bed | Leakage or introduction of large air bubbles | Check for leaks or bubbles in the tubing and repack the column if necessary |
Slow liquid flow | 1. Aggregation of proteins or lipids | Clean the resin or membrane promptly |
2. Protein precipitation in the resin | Adjust the composition of the equilibration and elution buffers to maintain the stability of the target substance and the binding efficiency of the resin | |
3. Microbial growth in the separation column | All reagents used must be filtered and degassed. The sample must be centrifuged or filtered before applying it to the column |
