Protocol for the preparation of a prepacked IMAC column. Purification of histidine-tagged proteins on a milligram scale can be performed conveniently on a small (1to 5-ml) immobilized metal-ion chromatography (IMAC) column using a syringe to load the sample, wash the column, and elute the protein. - [Read Preparation of a Prepacked IMAC Column Protocol]
Histidine-tagged proteins can be purified on prepacked 1-ml immobilized metal-ion affinity chromatography (IMAC) columns without optimization of the separation conditions. The method allows fast capture of the target protein, although with a lower purity than can be obtained under optimized conditions. - [Read Purification of Histidine-Tagged Proteins Using IMAC Without Parameter Optimization Protocol]
