    SCX-20 Page 3 of 21 SECTION 1 – INTRODUCTION 1.1. Features of the ProPac SCX-20, Strong Cation Exchange Columns ® The ProPac SCX-20 column is a strong cation exchange (SCX) column designed specifically to provide high-resolution separations of proteins. A grafted cation-exchange surface provides pH-based selectivity control and fast mass transfer for high-efficiency separation and moderate capacity.

    ProPac SCX-20 Operating Conditions ProPac SCX-20 strong cation exchange columns are stable between pH 2 and 12, and are compatible with both aqueous mobile phases and those containing solvents, such as acetonitrile. The ProPac SCX-20 strong cation exchange columns can be operated at any flow rate, as long as the backpressure remains below 3,000 psi.

  • Page 6: Section 2 - System Requirement

    2.1. An Inert System is Strongly Recommended The ProPac SCX-20 columns were designed to be used with a standard bore HPLC system having a gradient pump module, injection valve, and a UV detector. A metal-free/inert system is recommended for halide-salt mobile phases which may otherwise cause corrosion of metallic components.

  • Page 7: Section 3 - Operation

    0.1% sodium azide Do not operate the ProPac SCX-20 in the absence of a minimal ionic strength (At least 20 mM). If the ionic strength is too low, the conformation of the stationary phase will be affected, causing a significant increase in backpressure.

  • Page 8: Validating Column Performance

    Validating Column Performance Dionex recommends that you perform an efficiency test on your ProPac SCX-20 strong cation exchange column before you use it. The purpose of column performance validation is to make sure that no damage has been done to the column during shipping.

  • Page 9: Section 4 - Applications

    ProPac SCX-20 is altered. Ribonuclease A elutes first, followed by cytochrome C and lysozyme. Such selectivity differences are quite useful for protein separation and purification applications. Also, the peak capacity for ProPac SCX-20 is superior when compared to ProPac SCX-10 making it the column of choice for protein separation applications.

    F and A. However, two IEF steps, using cellulose acetate electrophoresis with alkaline pH, followed by confirmation using citrate agar electrophoresis at acidic pH are necessary. The ProPac SCX-20 column successfully resolves these hemoglobin species in a single run within 20 minutes.
  • Page 11 Page 10 of 21 Figure 3 shows the separation of hemoglobin A2 using both ProPac SCX-10 and ProPac SCX-20 columns. A faster separation could be achieved on ProPac SCX-20 within 16 minutes with a different selectivity and better resolution of the main peak.
  • Page 12 Product Manual for ProPac SCX-20 Page 11 of 21 Separation of Human hemoglobin and Porcine hemoglobin is achieved with ProPac SCX-20 column (Figure 4). Several closely related variant separations could be achieved in less than 20 minutes. Figure 4 Separation of Human and Porcine Hemoglobins on a ProPac SCX-20 column Document No.

    Asn67 were baseline-resolved from each other and from native ribonuclease A in a single chromatographic analysis (9, 10). Figure 5 shows the separation of ribonuclease A and its deamidation products on ProPac SCX-20 at various incubation time points during the course of the forced deamidation. The baseline separation made it possible to quantify the change in amounts of each form within the mixture as a function of time.
  • Page 14 H deamidated RNase A (Peak 2) is present as a small peak. The resolution of ribonuclease A on ProPac SCX-20 is better than ProPac SCX-10 (See Figure 1). The multiple peaks seen as second deamidation variant (shown with an arrow in Figure 5) could be due to the separation deamidated variants of the protein.

    The 4 x 250 mm ProPac SCX-20 should add no more than 2200 psi backpressure at 1 mL/min. The 4 x 50 mm ProPac SCX-20 columns should add no more than 600 psi back pressure at 1 mL/min.

    Usually 5 - 30 min at 1 mL/min is sufficient. Do not exceed 20x the column volume of 0.5 M NaOH (60 mL). The use of high concentrations of base and/or larger volumes of base is not recommended. The ProPac SCX-20 column can be washed at temperatures up to 60 °C.
