IMAC purification - any metal
1
Preparing the buffers
•
Use high purity water and chemicals.
•
Filter all buffers through a 0.45 µm filter before use.
Binding buffer (port A1):
20 mM sodium phosphate, 0.5 M NaCl, 20 mM imidazole,
pH 7.4 *
Wash eluent (port A2):
Distilled water
Metal-loading eluent (port A3):
100 mM metal salt solution (metal chloride or metal
sulphate e.g. 100 mM CuSO
100 mM ZnCl
in distilled H
2
Elution buffer (port B):
20 mM sodium phosphate, 0.5 M NaCl, 0.5 M imidazole,
pH 7.4
Prepare at least 500 ml of each eluent.
*
Alternative buffers:
5–40 mM imidazole can be included in the binding buffer to
reduce unspecific binding of non-histidine-tagged proteins.
The concentration of imidazole is protein dependent and if the
protein of interest elutes or does not bind at a certain imidazole
concentration, then reduce the concentration.

Preparing the sample
a) Adjust the sample to composition of binding buffer by:
•
diluting the sample in binding buffer or
•
by buffer exchange using HiTrap Desalting or HiPrep
26/10 Desalting.
b) Pass the sample through a 0.45 µm filter.
3
Preparing the system
a) Place each inlet tubing from port A (8-port valve) in
eluents as given above and the tubing from port B
(2-port valve) in the elution buffer.
b) Place the three brown waste tubings in waste.
c) Connect the column between port 1 on the injection
valve (7-port valve) and the UV flow cell (see Ordering
information on next page for suitable columns).
d) Fill the fraction collector rack with 18 mm tubes
(minimum 40) and position the white plate on the
fractionation arm against the first tube.
e) Connect a sample loop large enough for your sample
between port 2 and 6 on the injection valve. Use a
syringe to manually fill the loop.
Note: If a Superloop is needed, additional information
is supplied in the instructions for Superloop.
