Ion Exchange ChromatographyIon exchange chromatography is the purification

technique, which involves the separation of the proteins based on the ions exchange property between the

proteins and the column Related LOs: Column packing material, Retention and Elution time > Prior Viewing – IDD-6. Extraction of serum protein, IDD-41. Liquid chromatography - Gel filtration, IDD-42.

2. Mobile phase: The buffers/ salt solution that is used to elute the protein by interacting with the resin and thereby free the proteins from the column.

3. DEAE-Sepharose: Diethyl amino ethyl sepharose is an anion exchanger which interacts more with cationic proteins.

4. CM-Cellulose: Carboxy methyl cellulose is an cation exchanger which interacts more with anionic proteins.
