Student Workstations<br />

If students are h<strong>and</strong>packing their own columns they will need to use the following protocol. Otherwise, if<br />

they are using prepacked cartridges, this section can be skipped.<br />

Material Needed for Each Workstation Quantity<br />

Glass Econo-Column column 1 cm x 5 cm 1<br />

Profinity IMAC Ni-charged resin slurry (50% slurry) 2 ml slurry<br />

Flow adaptor for 1 cm ID columns* 1<br />

Two-way stopcock 1<br />

10 ml syringe 1<br />

Beaker with distilled water 1<br />

Introduction<br />

The Econo-Column column flow adaptor provides a number of advantages in column chromatography.<br />

Specifically, for purification of GST-DHFR-His it can be used for:<br />

• Sample application with minimal dilution<br />

• More efficient elution of GST-DHFR-His, because the 250 mM imidazole stock solution is not diluted<br />

when applied to the column<br />

The Econo-Column column flow adaptors are shipped preassembled <strong>and</strong> ready to use. Figure 6.1 shows<br />

the parts of the assembled flow adaptor.<br />
