, , , ,

RESOURCE Q. RESOURCE Q columns are prepacked with SOURCE 15Q, a

strong anion exchanger

for high resolution polishing purification of proteins at high flow rates.

How does Q Sepharose work?

The charged group of Q-Sepharose is a quarternary amine which

carries a non- titratable positive charge

. This matrix can be used at alkaline pH values at which the positive charge of the DEAE group would have been titrated. The charged group of S-Sepharose is the sulphonyl group (-SO3 ̄).

What is Q Sepharose?

Q Sepharose

®

Fast Flow is

a strong anion exchanger based

on the well established Sepharose

®

Fast Flow ion exchange platform, extensively used for preparative protein separations in both research and industrial applications.

Is Q Sepharose a cation exchanger?

and elutions conditions. Capto S is a

strong cation exchanger

for fast, efficient, and cost-effective capture and intermediate protein purification from large feed volumes. protein separations in both research and industrial applications.

How do you pack Q Sepharose column?

Mix the packing buffer with the medium to form a

50–70% slurry

. (Sedimented bed volume/slurry volume = 0.5–0.7.) Pour the slurry into the column. Insert the adaptor and lower it to the surface of the slurry, making sure no air is trapped under the adaptor.

What is the chemical nature of Q Sepharose?

It is composed of

crosslinked 6% agarose beads, with quaternary ammonium (Q) strong anion exchange groups

. Q Sepharose

®

Fast Flow has high chemical stability, allowing well proven cleaning-in-place (CIP) and sanitization protocols.

What is the difference between agarose and Sepharose?


Pure agarose is powdered form while sepharose is more beaded in structure

. … Agarose is a more generic term referring to a type of polysaccharide polymer while sepharose is a trademarked term by GE Healthcare. 3. Agarose has more charged polysaccharides compared to sepharose.

Which amino acid will elute first?


Glutamic acid

will be eluted first because the column pH is close to its pI. Leucine and lysine will be positively charged and will stick to the column.

What is Mono Q column?

Mono QTM columns are

strong anion exchange chromatography columns for protein analysis or small scale, high resolution polishing of proteins

. Packed with MonoBeadsTM Q strong anion exchange chromatography resin. Monodisperse 10 μm porous beads provide high resolution, reproducibility, and durability.

What is a Monoq column?

General description. Mono Q

®

is

a strong anion exchanger prepacked with MonoBeads in a Tricorncolumn

. The column is an excellent choice for small-scale polishing in purification of proteins, peptides, and other biomolecules when high purity is required.

What is Sepharose 4B?

Sepharose 4B is a

well-proven agarose size exclusion chromatography base matrix

and is frequently used for coupling affinity ligands to the matrix. The matrix is not pre-activated and the user performs all steps in coupling.

What is DEAE ion exchange?

Diethylaminoethyl cellulose (DEAE-C) is

a positively charged resin used

in ion-exchange chromatography, a type of column chromatography, for the separation and purification of proteins and nucleic acids.

What is a CM column?

(abbreviation SCC) a unit for giving the size of newspaper and magazine advertisements, and for calculating their cost. One single column centimetre is

one column wide and one centimetre high

: The basic unit of measurement and charge is the single column centimetre.

How do you clean Q Sepharose?

you can easily clean Q sepharose resin with

4-5 culun volume of 2M NaCl then followed by 8M Urea

or 7M guanidium hydrochloride and excess for distilled water and try to store your resin with at least 20% ethanol for long term storage. You can never fully clean Q sepharose.

How does a cation exchange column work?

Ion exchange chromatography separates ions and molecules based on their net overall surface charge. The media in a cation exchange column is negatively charged, binding positively charged molecules, and therefore cations are

used for elution of the bound molecules

.

How does an anion exchange column work?

In an anion exchange column,

the packing is positively charged and therefore retains negatively charged molecules by coulombic interaction

. The bound molecules are eluted with an anion gradient. For molecules with multiple charged groups, such as proteins, it is the overall charge in a given buffer chemistry (pH, etc.)
