Hi Bernhard,
  If your cheap imidazole works fine aside from the absorption problem, there's 
always my favorite stone-age detection method: pencil a numbered grid onto a 
piece of filter paper, spot the fractions on it, and stain with coomassie.  
It'll tell you which fractions to load on a gel, and it goes easy on the budget 
as well.

Subject: [ccp4bb] Low 280 absorbance imidazole?

Hi Fellows,

could someone please point me towards the source of a known high purity 
imidazole
with low absorbance at 280 nm? I am facing the problem of detecting a low 
absorption protein
in high imidazole background after IMAC gradient elution. In the UV spectra of 
the
2 imidazoles I checked there is some contaminant that absorbs at 280…

Thx, BR
