Hi, Agreed on this. I used to have issues with aggregation due to the Nickel being stripped off the column (happens with elution in imidazole). Adding 10mM EDTA to the elution immediately AFTER it has come out of the column will chelate the Ni++ and prevents aggregation (at least in my case). Afterwards, I use gel filtration to remove the Ni++, as well.
Hope that helps! Sophia On Mon, Feb 18, 2008 at 4:48 AM, Ngo Duc Tri <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > I used another way to deal with this problem.
