Frequently Asked Questions and Solutions
Issue | Possible Causes | Solutions |
Coupling efficiency is low | 1. Incorrect salt concentration or pH of Buffer B | Check if Buffer B is prepared correctly, ensuring the appropriate salt concentration and pH |
2. Insufficient coupling time | Extend the coupling time to allow for a more thorough coupling reaction | |
3. Inappropriate pre-activated resin | Try using other types of pre-activated resins that may be more suitable for the desired coupling reaction | |
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 deactivation during storage or loading | Properly store the sample to maintain its activity before purification | |
5. Low binding ratio between ligand and target molecule | Try increasing the ligand concentration during coupling to improve the binding ratio | |
6. Degradation of ligand during coupling or washing steps | Evaluate the stability of the ligand during the coupling or washing process | |
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. 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). | |
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 excessive elution speed or steep gradient | Adjust the elution conditions to improve the elution efficiency | |
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 use | Replace with a new resin | |
4. Sample deactivation during storage or loading, inability to bind effectively with the ligand | Properly store the sample to maintain its activity before purification | |
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 |
