1. Description Media properties ™ SP Sepharose High Performance and Q Sepharose High Performance are strong cation and strong anion exchangers respectively. Both remain charged and maintain high capacity over broad pH ranges. The functional groups are coupled to the matrix via chemically stable ether linkages. Characteristics of HiTrap SP HP and HiTrap Q HP, 1 and 5 ml columns are listed in Table 1. Column HiTrap Q HP and HiTrap SP HP are 1 ml and 5 ml columns made of polypropylene, which

2. Selection of ion exchanger and conditions Ion exchange chromatography is based on adsorption and reversible binding of charged sample molecules to oppositely charged groups attached to an insoluble matrix. The pH value at which a biomolecule carries no net charge is called the isoelectric point (pI). When exposed to a pH below its pI, the biomolecule will carry a positive charge and will bind to a cation exchanger (SP). At pH’s above its pI the protein will carry a negative charge and w

Strategy 1. Binding and elution of all sample components Binding is achieved by choosing a start buffer with a low pH for HiTrap SP HP or a high pH for HiTrap Q HP. The ionic strenght should be kept as low as possible to allow all components to bind to the ionic exchange (<5 mS/cm). This results in a concentration of the target substance and a complete picture of the whole sample. The drawback of this strategy is that the binding capacity of the ion exchanger for the target substance is dep

The buffering ion should carry the same charge as the ion exchange group and should have a pKa within 0.5 pH units of the pH used in the separation. Buffering ions of opposite charge may take part in the ion exchange process and cause local disturbances in pH. Starting pH Cation exchangers (SP): At least 1 pH unit below the pI of substance to be bound. Anion exchangers (Q): At least 1 pH unit above the pI of substance to be bound. Table 2.

Operation Buff er preparation Water and chemicals used for buffer preparation should be of high purity. It is recommended to filter the buffers by passing them through a 0.22 μm filter immediately before use. See Tables 2 and 3, Figs 2 and 3 for recommended buffers.

Purifi cation 1. Fill the syringe or pump tubing with start buffer (low ionic strength). Remove the stopper and connect the column to the syringe (with the provided adaptor), “drop to drop” to avoid introducting air into the column. 2. Remove the snap-off end at the column outlet. 3. Wash out the preservatives with 5 column volumes of start buffer, at 1 ml/min for the 1 ml column and 5 ml/min for the 5 ml column. 4. Wash with 5 column volumes of elution buffer (start buffer with 1 M NaCl).

Note: If a P1-pump is used a max flow rate of 1–3 ml/min can be run on a HiTrap 1 ml column packed with Sepharose High Performance media. 4. Optimization If sample composition is unknown, a simple screening test with the aid of a syringe or pump can be performed to optimize starting pH and ionic strength. 1. Set up a series of buffers with different pH´s, in the range 4–8 (SP) or 5–9 (Q), with 0.5–1 pH unit intervals between each buffer. Make one series with 1 M NaCl included in the buffer

Further optimization The recommendations given above will give a sound basis for developing an efficient purification step. Details of how flow rate, sample loading, particle size and elution scheme may be optimized to meet the special needs can be found in the handbook, Ion Exchange Chromatography & Chromato- foucsing, Principles and Methods, Code No. 11-0004-21. GE Healthcare supplies a wide range of ion exchange chromatography media for purification of biomolecules at all scales. See Orde

Elution with stepwise ionic strength gradients Stepwise elution is the sequential use of the same buffer at different ionic strengths. It is technically simple and fast, and is suitable for syringe operation. It is often used for sample concentration and sample clean-up. Stepwise elution gives small peak volumes and the resolution depends on the difference in elution power between each step. 1.
