Hi Nazia, Answer to your last email about handling the detergents. It is suggested for all the detergent powders to be stored at -20 in a desiccator box or simply the bottle should be properly sealed with parafilm since the detergent powders are very hygroscopic and quickly absorb moisture. There

Dear all, Thank you for the prompt and valuable suggestions. I had made a typo in my earlier mail. I use 50mM NaCl, not 5mM NaCl. I am facing this problem only while using DDM in buffers. My other runs, even with 8M urea run perfectly fine. I will try increasing the salt concentartion and degas b

If your buffer can't go through a 0.2 micron filter easily, you shouldn't run it through your FPLC. Detergent purity may be an issue. I also experienced problems filtering a buffer containing CHAPS from vendor X. When I switched to Anatrace CHAPS, no more clogging. Ho Ho Leung Ng University

We are trying to purify a membrane protein using different detergents (DDM, OG etc.). We have tried using 1mM DDM in 20mM Tris, 5mM NaCl and 5% glycerol buffer to purify the protein. however, we are facing problems in running the buffer in 16/60 Superdex 200 pg gel filytration coloumn using AKTA Ex
