stringent column wash. This NaOH wash should
only be used after the regular methanol regeneration
step. For complete sanitation (i.e. removal of
endotoxins and DNA) the support can be washed
with 1.0 N NaOH. This is an acceptable method of
sanitation for FDA purposes.

If the column will be re-used right away, re-
equilibrate the column with at least 5 column
volumes of MAPS binding buffer. If the column is to
be stored, equilibrate the column with a mild neutral
buffer such as 0.05 M sodium phosphate, pH 7.5,
containing 0.02-0.05% sodium azide.
