PureCube HIC Starter Set (10 ml Butyl, Phenyl, Octyl Agarose each)
Order number: 39099
Description
Hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) is a reliable method to separate proteins and other biomolecules based on their hydrophobicity. Our PureCube HIC Starter Set is provides newcomers to the HIC method a good place to start. Alternatively, it can be used for seasoned users of HIC as a collection of resins to screen through when working with a new protein or biomolecule.
The PureCube HIC Starter Set includes 10 ml each of the following HIC resins:

Lab Results
Purification Resins
Hydrophobic interaction chromatography is a well-established method to purify proteins according to their surface charge and hydrophobicity. Chromatography matrices that provide a hydrophobic surface are used for separation. This method does not require any affinity tags to be fused to the protein to be purified. Therefore it is suitable for the purification of both native and recombinant proteins. We offer hydrophobic interaction matrices, with phenyl, octyl, or butyl groups on the surface. For a novel protein, comparing different matrices is strongly recommended, and a HIC screening set with small quantities of each matrix is available. Our PureCube Agaroses are based on BioWorks Workbeads, providing highest binding capacities and reproducible results, especially in FPLC chromatography applications.
Binding
Proteins might precipitate at very high salt concentrations, therefore it is recommended to test in small scale experiments if the protein of interest stays in solution at the salt concentration required for binding.
Elution
Bound proteins can be eluted with low-salt buffers. It is highly recommended to use a salt gradient (e.g. ammonium sulfate or sodium chloride) for elution to ensure that the protein is kept in the optimal salt concentration required for stability.
