4.1 Sample Preparation
Proper pH and ionic strength are necessary for
consistent and reproducible results. Sample can be
exchanged into the starting buffer or diluted to the
starting buffer's concentration. This can be
achieved by diluting the sample to the ionic strength
of the starting buffer, dialyzing against the starting
buffer, or exchanging it into the starting buffer.
Buffer exchange can be accomplished using a
Bio-Scale Mini P-6 cartridge, Bio-Spin
