FAQ-285
How do I prevent bubbles from forming in my Ni-NTA agarose column?
Gas bubbles may form when the resin undergoes a temperature change. To alleviate this problem, degas the Ni-NTA agarose in equilibration buffer or simply keep the agarose at a constant temperature to keep all the gases in solution.

Ni-NTA Spin System
Ni-NTA silica combines Ni-NTA with a macroporous silica support material optimized to suppress nonspecific hydrophobic interactions. Ni-NTA Spin Columns (His-protein purification spin columns) in the Ni-NTA Spin Kit and available separately provide Ni-NTA silica in a convenient microspin format for easy preparation of multiple samples in parallel. They provide a simple method for functional screening of engineered proteins, selection of clones expressing full-length translation products and comparison of expression levels. Each spin column can purify up to 300 µg of His-tagged protein. Like all Ni-NTA matrices, Ni-NTA spin columns can be used for one-step protein purification under native or denaturing conditions. The Ni-NTA Spin Kit is a complete kit for spin purification of His-tagged proteins. It can be automated on the QIAcube Connect (see image "QIAcube Connect").
