Ni Focurose FF(IMAC)
sample

Ni Focurose FF(IMAC) utilizes the interaction between Ni2+ and certain amino acids on the side chains of proteins (primarily histidine, cysteine, and tryptophan) for separation and purification. It is suitable for the separation and purification of His-tagged proteins and other biomolecules that interact with Ni2+.

Features

  • Fast and simple (one-step purification)

  • Wide applicability and easy operation, suitable for gravity columns and prepacked columns (peristaltic pump or chromatography systems)

  • Multiple choices, can chelate various metal ions (such as Cu2+, Zn2+, Fe2+, Co2+, Ca2+, etc.) for use

  • Compared to Ni Focurose FF (IDA), Ni2+ detachment is low and it has broad reagent compatibility

Note: When chelating Ca2+, avoid using phosphate buffer (as it may form precipitates)

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. Expression conditions are too harsh, His tag is shielded and cannot bind to the resin

Suggest performing a control experiment with an empty vector to assess the suitability of expression conditions

5. Target protein without histidine tag in the initial sample

Verify through gene sequence or His tag antibody

6. Target protein appears in the flow-through

Target protein is not successfully expressed or sample pH and composition are incorrect

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 imidazole in the elution buffer

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. During washing, the target protein is washed off

Reduce the concentration of imidazole in the wash buffer.

6. 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 0.2% Triton X-100 or 0.5% Tween 20

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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. Impurities have a higher affinity for Ni2+

Use a different type of resin for purification, such as ion exchange or molecular sieving

6. Degradation of the target substance

Assess the stability of the target substance and add a protease inhibitor

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. You can try adding additives to the sample, such as 0.5% Triton X-100, 1.0% Tween 20, or 50% glycerol

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 use

Replace with a new resin

4. Intense expression conditions leading to His-tag encapsulation, preventing optimal binding to the resin

It is recommended to perform expression and purification with an empty vector as a control to determine if the expression conditions are suitable

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
