…alternatively, depending on what is the source of your protein, you might have to dialyze the (concentrated) sample before applying it to IMAC. Insect cell media, in particular, can be pretty good at stripping off Ni2+ from IMAC supports. HTH, Luca

Hi Theresa, did you try to change the position of the His-Tag? Perhaps it is not exposed in your current construct and would work better at the N- or C-terminus. Greetings Moritz Metlitzky, Ph.D. Institute of Toxicology Tel.: 089-3187-2669 Fax: 089-3187-3449 www.helmholtz-muenchen.de/en/toxi/krap
