Another option I didn't mention is presoak your centricons in 30% glycerol over night prior to usage. Jürgen On Jan 28, 2012, at 12:47 PM, Bosch, Juergen wrote: Are you close to the theoretical isoelectric point of your protein ? Change pH of buffer Jürgen .. Jürgen Bosch J

lost on membrane of centricon!! Hi all, I tried to concentrate my protein using vivaspin 20 10,000 MWCO PES. The protein was in 50mM Hepes pH 7.5, 500mM KCl and 10% glycerol. I lost about 90% of my protein on the membrane of the centricon. Please suggest some way of concentrating this pr

P.S. I haven't personally tried concentrating with PEG 20K but I suppose it could work. On Sat, Jan 28, 2012 at 12:41 PM, Cale Dakwar wrote: > > Hello Rashmi, > > How large are your protein monomer units? Are you expecting these units > to have formed an oligomer? As a general rule of thumb

Hello Rashmi, How large are your protein monomer units? Are you expecting these units to have formed an oligomer? As a general rule of thumb, you want your protein molecules to be no smaller than 3x the membrane MWCO. Perhaps all you need is to try concentrating with a lower MWCO membrane, e.g.
