Re: [ccp4bb] Lost my protein

Hi Yanming, I usually keep the follow through before I know nothing is in it. Also you may want to suspend your protein solution every 5-10 min to avoid precipitation because the concentration gradient forms rapidly during centrifugation. If all of these do not help, just try concentrators with different types of membrane.

I heard the same story from one of my colleagues too. It seems the membrane of the Amicon tube ate my protein. Why this happen and how to recover my protein? Thank you very much.
