<strong>Protein</strong> <strong>Expression</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Purification</strong> <strong>Series</strong><br />
Tasks to Perform After the Lab<br />
In order to ensure excellent, long-term performance of the <strong>Bio</strong>Logic LP system or DuoFlow instrument, it<br />
is important to wash all tubing <strong>and</strong> components with high-quality water for short-term storage <strong>and</strong> with a<br />
20% ethanol solution in water for long-term storage. A water wash will remove all salts that can precipitate<br />
<strong>and</strong> clog tubing <strong>and</strong> flow paths. If instruments are used regularly (at least once or twice a month) this wash<br />
should be sufficient. If instruments are used infrequently, washing with water followed by a 20% ethanol<br />
wash will wash out salts as well as provide some level of antibacterial activity with the ethanol. Make sure<br />
to wash out all tubing <strong>and</strong> all valve positions.<br />
Student Workstations<br />
1. Advance preparation for h<strong>and</strong>packing a glass econo-column column with a flow adaptor<br />
If students are h<strong>and</strong>packing their own columns, the following workstations will need to be set up.<br />
Otherwise, if they are using prepacked cartridges this section can be skipped <strong>and</strong> proceed to section 2<br />
below.<br />
Each student team requires the following items to h<strong>and</strong>pack their own column:<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 />
2-way stopcock 1<br />
10 ml syringe 1<br />
Beaker filled with 200 ml of distilled water 1<br />
50 ml beaker for waste 1<br />
100-1,000 µl adjustable-volume micropipet <strong>and</strong> tips 1<br />
Marking pen 1<br />
2. Affinity purification of GST-DHFR-His protein<br />
Each student team requires the following items to purify their GST-DHFR-His samples using affinity<br />
chromatography:<br />
Material Needed for Each Workstation Quantity<br />
Soluble lysate fraction 5–7.50 ml<br />
<strong>Bio</strong>Scale Mini Profinity Ni-IMAC cartridge 1<br />
