The Pharmacia FPLC System automates the separation and purification of semi-preparative protein amounts using aqueous buffers at low pressures, housed in a "cold box" for runs at 4°C to preserve biological activity. 

Featuring two pumps for gradient elutions and an automated fraction collector, it supports five columns: Superdex 75 and Superose 12 for gel filtration, Mono Q for anion exchange, Mono S for cation exchange, and phenyl sepharose for hydrophobic interaction. Ideal for precise and efficient protein purification.

Question & Answers For:

Pharmacia FPLC System

Past Questions, Helpful Answers.

q.

What is the Pharmacia FPLC System used for?

a.

The Pharmacia FPLC System is used for the automated separation and purification of proteins. It is ideal for semi-preparative amounts and ensures biological activity is preserved during purification by operating at low temperatures (4°C).

q.

What types of proteins can I purify with this system?

a.

The system is designed to purify a wide variety of proteins using aqueous buffers. It is particularly useful for proteins requiring high specificity and gentle separation conditions.

q.

What types of chromatography columns can be used with the Pharmacia FPLC System?

a.

The system supports five different chromatography columns: Superdex 75 and Superose 12 (gel filtration), Mono Q (anion exchange), Mono S (cation exchange), and phenyl sepharose (hydrophobic interaction).

q.

How does the system ensure temperature control during the process?

a.

The Pharmacia FPLC System features a "cold box" that maintains a constant temperature of 4°C during runs, which helps preserve the biological activity of proteins.

q.

Does the system support gradient elution?

a.

Yes, the Pharmacia FPLC System features two pumps for gradient elutions, providing precise control over the separation process.

q.

Can I automate the collection of protein fractions?

a.

Yes, the Pharmacia FPLC System includes an automated fraction collector, allowing for hands-free collection of protein fractions during the purification process.

 

q.

Is this system suitable for both small and large scale purification?

a.

The system is ideal for semi-preparative protein amounts, typically used for moderate-scale purification. It is optimized for precision, not for large-scale industrial use.

q.

What are the main benefits of using this system for protein purification?

a.

The Pharmacia FPLC System offers automated purification with precise control over temperature and gradients, making it highly efficient and suitable for maintaining protein activity during separation.

q.

Can the system be used for both anion and cation exchange chromatography?

a.

Yes, the system supports both anion exchange chromatography (using Mono Q) and cation exchange chromatography (using Mono S), making it versatile for different types of protein separations.

q.

How do I maintain the system?

a.

Regular maintenance involves cleaning the system after each use, ensuring proper calibration, and checking the pumps and fraction collector for functionality. Specific maintenance guidelines will be available in the user manual.
