Which kind of HPLC column can be used for ethanol detection in LB medium after bacteria growth 24 hours?
Hi everyone!
So I am trying to concentrate my recombinant proteins in order to make some assays with them, but I need a "considerable" concentration of each. One of my proteins is around 9kDa and the other one 15.8 kDa. They have been tagged with a 6 His and went already through a Nickel column. SDS PAGEs show considerable concentration of certain amount of protein of interest in many, fragments, hence, it was decided to concentrate them using a PES protein concentrator (3,000 MW concentrators) . However, when spinnning them as protocol suggests and collecting every flowthrough (FT) to localize any "lost" proteins, as well as the concentrated sample, rather than seeing a considerable larger band on the SDS , the bands are discrete, not much concentration is found and there is no protein whatsoever in any other FT to suggest protein is being lost through the filter. Am I facing degradation, or why is it that even concentrating it, is not concentrated.
Thank you all! Welcoming any suggestions or corrections!
Best wishes,
Jorge
Hello,
I received some GWAS results. There is a column for SNP, position, REF/ALT allele, p value, SE, which is pretty straightforward. However, I am confused about the column titled 'Effect', they are values ranging from -1.4 to 1.3. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance.
I am trying to run a method from a column that is 250x4.6 mm, 8 um particle size into a column that is 300x7.8 mm, 9 um particle size. The makeup of the column is pretty much the same. They are each run as isocratic methods. How much more should I load or how should I adjust other parameters to comensate?
Recently my pepsin column got some blockage, supposedly because of the precipitation of aggregated protein. Multiple washes with 0.1% FA or pepsin wash (1.5M GuHCl + AcN + FA 95.2/4/0.8), as well as reverse flushing didn't help, the pressure is still too high. It seems like the column cannot be used anymore anyways, so I was wondering if there's any other washing method that I could try?
Even if it's somewhat dangerous to use it on the pepsin column.
I am trying to simulate a rectangular short column (L/D ratio of 2) for cyclic load under axial compression. I am using the concrete damage plasticity model for concrete. The first problem I am facing is excess lateral stiffness in my ABAQUS model as you can see in the force vs displacement curve. I am trying to match the slope of the red curve generated by the cyclic hysteresis response of the column. The dashed line is the result I got. I have only included the elastic property for concrete for this instance. All the pictures related to the analysis are listed below.
- The analysis procedure is static/general for
- C3D8R element used for concrete
- T3D2 element used for reinforcement
- Analysis was done in 2 steps axial load and lateral displacement
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

I am looking for the specifications and instructions for use for HPLC column Aqua C18 (3um, 125A, 150 x 4.6 mm, Phenomenex). This is a rather old column, and I could not find this information on Phenomenex web site.
We used the DNA Clean & Concentrator-100 (D4030) from Zymo Research to clean and concentrate our 100 µg DNA. Unfortunately, our yield was only 8%.
We initially believed that, due to our DNA being over 10 kb, it was not eluted properly from the column. However, upon checking the DNA in the flow-through and wash samples at each step, we discovered that most of our DNA did not bind to the column. Specifically, 90% of our DNA existed in the flow-through. When we applied the flow-through containing this DNA to another company's DNA binding column, most of the DNA bound well to the column. Consequently, we suspect there is a problem with the DNA binding column of the Zymo kit.
Has anyone had a similar experience? If so, how did you resolve the problem?
Dear colleagues, we are now analyzing fecal samples with the MS but some precipitates occur after the SP3 digestion and elution. We are trying to understand the cause and identify ways to remove them as they harm the LC columns. Thank you for your help and your suggestions.

I am facing an issue with how chromatograms are recorded. From time to time, on our chromatograms the peak assigned to heptane is integrated as well and this gives us wrong results. Sometimes the value of this peck is less than 0,01 %, but there are situations when it is 20 % . I made no changes for the methods. I don’t know why this problem appears randomly and what can be the cause? Do you think that it could be a bubble of air, the manual injection or may be is the column? On this GC, we have another column with automatic injection, and this problem never arrived on this one.
mobile phase: methanol/ACN (90:10, v/v) + 9 μM TEA.
Can I use n-hexane as the injection solvent?
Will this cause column clogging or damage?
I know that acetonitrile and n-hexane are immiscible.
I have some columns for my Thermo Scientific GC-MS:
1) DB-WAX
2) DB-1
c) DB-17HT
d) VF-1MS
e) TR-FAME
f) TG-5MS
g) TG-WAXMS A
In my opinion, for polyphenols as flavonoid (and their glicosides) and phenolic acids (present in vegetable, grains, food analysis), I would prefere DB-1, VF-1MS and TG-5MS.
Your opinion will be valuable for me...a lot!
I am using TG-5MS. but I expected better results than the ones I am having...
Lately, I’ve been encountering issues with the longevity of my Liquid Chromatography tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) columns. Specifically, I use the ZORBAX Eclipse Plus C18 RRHD (Rapid Resolution HD) 2.1x100 mm 1.8 micron column from Agilent on my Agilent 1290 Infinity II LC/6475LC/TQ Mass Spectrometer. My method involves using 100% Methanol for Mobile phase A and a 5 millimolar Ammonium acetate in a 1% acetic acid solution. Initially, the column pressure remained stable at 326 bar for up to 100 samples. However, after running 200 samples over the course of a month, I’ve noticed a gradual increase in pressure by 10-20 bars daily. I’ve attempted the recommended washing protocol, which starts with a 5-minute wash using 100% water to remove the buffer, followed by a 5-minute wash with 98% water and 2% Methanol. The gradient is then gradually reduced to 50% water and 50% Methanol, eventually reaching 2% water and 98% Methanol at the 45-minute mark of the washing process. Despite these efforts, the pressure continues to rise, and there’s been a shift in my analyte’s retention time (RT). Acquiring a new column will take some time, so I’m seeking a way to restore my column to its original pressure if possible.
After completing DNA extraction from whole blood using the QIAamp DNA Mini kit but obtaining no yield, I suspect the DNA might be retained in the column. How can I recover the DNA from the column.
Can I purify large quantities of phycocyanin (current concentration of 30%) using the ÄKTA system equipped with size exclusion or ion exchange columns?
Could I perform multiple injections to isolate 100 mg of phycocyanin?
In my LC-MS experiment, I am utilizing an Agilent Polaris NH2 column to separate a mixture of glucose, fructose, and sucrose. I am using water and acetonitrile as A and B mobile phases respectively, both with 0.1% ammonium hydroxide. I have employed a gradient elution, starting with 90% B, gradually decreasing to 0%, and then increasing back to 90% B over 17 minutes. Initially, I did not face any issues and the separation was satisfactory. However, lately, I have been encountering problems. Upon analyzing a large number of samples, I could only detect the sucrose peaks in a few standards. Additionally, I noticed a white substance on the ESI source, and I had to clean the spray and ion capillary extensively to regain sensitivity. I am now concerned whether my mobile phase condition can damage the HILIC column.
Hello everyone.
I have a problem with HPLC. A few days ago, to create a calibration curve with HPLC, I injected solutions with known concentrations into the device, which gave good peaks in the expected time. But now I inject the solution with the unknown concentration into the device with the same HPLC conditions as before and the device does not show a peak. The filtered sample contains sodium sulfite, potassium peroxymonosulfate, and chloroquine.
Operating conditions: HPLC Waters with C18 column, PDA detector at a wavelength of 340 nm, water and acetonitrile as solvents with a ratio of 90:10 and isocratic method, flow rate 1 ml/min, and injection volume is 20 microliters.
I have checked all the connections for leaks and flushed the column with water and methanol, the system is free of air, the flow path is completely open and the waste is coming out, but I still did not see the peak in the expected time.
Hi,
I am a graduate student using a Shimadzu HPLC with a PDA detector.
This instrument was newly installed. Only the tech at installation and myself have run samples.
I am using it for research on cannabinoids specifically CBD and THC and only running diluted standards right now to modify the method.
I am using water (0.1% formic acid) as mobile phase A, and acetonitrile (0.1% formic acid) as mobile phase b. The total run time is 10 min. I have a gradient that starts at 70% B for 3 min, then ramps up to 90% B for 2 min, hold for 1 min, then back down to 70% and hold for the rest of the time. The flow rate is 0.2 mL/min. My injection volume is 1 uL.
The column is a Shimadzu C18-120, 3 um 3.0 x 50 mm.
The PDA detector wavelength is from 190 nm to 600 nm and specific wavelengths are 210 nm and 220 nm.
During my first run I ran a CBD sample (CBD 50 ng/mL in acetonitrile). A mistake was made of not running a blank before the CBD sample :(
I ran several blanks after and still continue to see peaks.
I have remade the blanks many times in different vials, new solutions of blank.
I set up a run consisting of 75 blanks on a 2 minute "cleanout method" run where I was using 90% ACN for the full time. All the blanks in this batch had the same peak with a consistent intensity. (The intensity of the peak did not really decrease over the 75 injections).
I have also run Null injections and have gotten the same peak in those injections as well.
I switched mobile phases from ACN to methanol. When running the blanks with the methanol I still got the same peak. After reversing the column, running methanol through, then fixing the column I still got the same peak again.
First we had thought it was CBD that contaminated the instrument, but after switching the phases and running so many blanks we are not sure if this is something with the instrument that we should try to change/clean?
At this point I am not sure where this peak could be coming from and was looking for some advice/direction on what to try next!
I can provide additional information as needed!
1. Fire 2. Earthquake 3. Flood
But the big bill comes from 4. not maintaining them. How can we maintain the structures if we can't?
Because the buildings will start falling down on their own.
Insulation. We cover everything. We cover everything with external insulation and plasterboard. External walls, ceilings, load-bearing structure made of reinforced concrete, all covered with insulation and plasterboard.
From the inside, plasterboard on ceilings and walls
What a nice coolness, but there goes the visual control.
1.And there's an earthquake. How do I see the crack to repair it? In the next earthquake either the crack will get bigger or the ceiling will come down on our heads. In corner columns you can't see any failure from the inside because the inside of the column is covered by the masonry.
2.And rusting an iron breaks the concrete overlay and the concrete and steel cooperation is lost How do I repair something I don't see; neither in the ceiling nor in the column?
3.Catch a fire We will burn like candles. Do you know how nice styrofoam burns?
Often I need to transform several columns of data into rows of aligned values in a matrix, for multivariate analysis. So randomly ordered values in the same sample are arranged/aligned into the corresponding column. How can I conduct this automatically?
I am working on the ns5 protein of JEV. first i cultured it on N-Z amine media. then purify it by his-trap column followed by sephadex colum. everytime my protein is lost in sephadex column. by his-trap column the purified band concentration is only 7uM. plz give me the suggestion
Hello everyone,
In your experience, what's the recommended number of uses for a single BioRad EconoFit Profinity IMAC column, or any similar prepacked Ni2+ columns? The instruction manual doesn't clearly state this information.
I've used a single column 3 times (for the same protein), cleaning it after every use, and gotten similar results.
Thanks for your help.
Hi everyone.
I'm having some trouble with the peak shape on VancoShell column. The mobile phases used are 5,5 mM ammonium acetate (pH 4,7) and methanol, in the ratio 20:80. Column temperature is 10°C, and flow rate is 0,17 mL/min. I'm trying to develop LC-MS method for chiral separation of venlafaxin. The instrument is Agiletn 1290 UHPC coupled to Agilent QTOF 6550. In the beginning, the peak shape was OK, but at some point, the peaks started to have shoulders. I tried washing the column with pure methanol, as well as tried to regenerate the column as per instructions. It helped a little, but the peak shape is still not that great.
I'm not sure what happened with the column, since the only thing injected onto it was a standard solution. Does anyone have any advice on how to improve the peak shape? Also, I'm wondering can I reverse flush the column since there is nothing in the manual about that.
To quantify the stoichiometric homeostasis index for N (nitrogen).
The formula is as follows:
log (y)= log(c) +(1/HP)log(x) (4)
where y is the N level in the plant tissue (mgkg−1), x is the N level in the water column (µgL−1), and c is a constant.
now my question id how to calculate the C or what is the value of C?
Hi everyone,
I have never worked with Inclusion Bodies so do not have a method that really works.
My protein is recombinant ß-casein that is produced both in the soluble fractions of the pellet and the insoluble ones. As for the pellet, we did resolubilization with buffer containing 8 M urea and directly load it on the HisTrap columns. The flow rate was 0.5 mL/min (the slowest on ÄKTA Start machine) but still overpressure often happened. I was pretty sure this was not the best method to purify the desired protein from the resolubilized pellet, and some kind of intermerdiate method needs to be done before purifying on the ÄKTA.
Therefore I need advice of either:
1. What I can do after resolubilization to alleviate the pressure before loading the sample to the HisTrap column? (my protein has a His Tag)
or
2. Is there any other method that can be used to purify the ß-casein? Maybe precipitation?
Column chromatography is not a must so other methods are welcome.
This is a trial and error for me so I can try any suggestions.
All suggestions and discussions are welcome.
Thank you in advance.
Dear colleagues,
We have recently optimized a TDS-GC-MS method for VOCs (SVOCs) analysis. (Gerstel + Agilent).
A high-temperature column with mid-polarity is chosen for a better resolution (similar to DB-624ms but with a higher operating temperature of 300/320 °C).
Although the desired separation is achieved with a programmed-temperature method (final temperature: 290 °C), some analytes with low boiling points, such as dichloromethane, benzene, and heptane, show unacceptable intensity variation. (The RSD of three replicas can be as high as 30%). On the other hand, compounds with higher boiling points (such as naphthalene and pentadecane) are more stable. (RSD < 5%)
We further lower the final temperature of the method (from 280 °C to 260 °C), and the repeatability of benzene and heptane is much better (RSD < 5%), while the dichloromethane is still fluctuating (RSD ~ 15%).
Any explanation for this phenomenon?
p.s. the column pressure can be very high under high-temperature
There are 4 items in one variable and in EFA , items loaded in 2 different columns of other variable
Hello,
I am analyzing purified antibodies using a superdex 200 increase 10/300 GL column. Occasionally, I observe tailing at the peak, particularly with antibodies that have high surface concentrations of Lysine and Arginine.
The figure below shows data from size exclusion chromatography analysis conducted under the same conditions, where tailing was observed in antibodies with high positive charge.
I'm wondering if increased positive charge on the surface could enhance interactions with the column.
Are there any references demonstrating this phenomenon?
Thank you!
I'm trying to synthesise a product through suzuki coupling using 5-bromo-2-thiophenecarboxylic acid and 2-fluoro-4-methoxyphenylboronic acid.
I tried using Cs2CO3, K2CO3, Na2CO3 as base and regarding solvents I used 1,4-dioxane-water ( 10: 1 ) and THF-water ( 10:1 ). I respected inert atmosphere (degassing and Argon bubbling) in organic solvent as well as in aqueous basic carbonate solution. Temperatures tried were 95, 90, 80 degrees Celsius. As workup, I directly, after cooling down the mixture, add HCl 15% and do the rest of the workup to initiate the isolation of carboxylic acid product. I used boronic acid in excess to avoid purification of 2 carboxylic acids(which is almost ridiculously hard, even with AcOH in column).
Catalyst: Pd(PPh3)4
My percentage yields of pure product were : 14% , 18,9%, 22% and 22%.
I really can't think of something that might increase the yield of the reaction since it's the starting point of many synthesis steps.
Can I get some help/opinions/tips/suggestions please? My next try i want to use 1,4-dioxane and increase temperature to 110-120 degrees celsius, maybe temperature is the main reason. I really don't know. I'm looking forward to read anything you can think of.
Thanks a lot ! It's a huuuuge text and I'm sorry for that, but I wanted to include everything so you have all the informations you need to provide any help.
Hi everyone
As I'm new to HPLC so can you help me which this question " If i got an old HPLC C18 GL column so how can i check if the column still work or not ( about the back pressure or something more?) after that how can i regenerate it?
thank you for your help
I am trying to purify a cell lysate using a 1 mL His-trap column but the viscosity of the lysate is clogging up the column. What are some solutions to this?

Hi,
quite specific question if somebody has experience with this column because I cannot pull out fritta and pack column with stationary phase.
I encounter the following problem: I want to send viral RNA for further analysis. As the receiver requires, I must process my samples according to a regular RNA extraction protocol and send the filtered spin columns from the RNA extraction kit, without performing the final elution step. But I don't have the original sample preserved, only the RNA already extracted is stored. Can I do a re-extraction using the stored eluate as the starting material?
Hello friends,
I could not find any template for this journal which stated that it should be doubled column. Any help?

In planning a 19-story building, I want to use varied concrete grades—lower for slabs and beams, higher for columns (e.g., M50 for columns, M25 for beams and slabs). How much can I differ between these grades while ensuring structural strength and avoiding issues like cold joint formations at beam-column joints? I've heard about a maximum difference of 5N/mm^2, but I'd like clarification with references and reasons for this choice.
Hi all,
I have some calcium imaging data collected from neurons in the mouse cerebral cortex. I wish to compare the effect of two genotypes. Within each genotype, I have several neurons that were recorded for fluorescence changes over 5 mins each.
The data is therefore arranged as follows: Genotypes (main columns), individual neurons (sub-columns under each column), and time (rows).
Can someone share the best statistical method(s) to apply to compare the distributions (blue and gray lines)? I do not wish to select specific frames or perform multiple comparisons for each time frame.
I use a DNA/RNA synthesizer from LGC (Biosearch), a MerMade6, to make oligos. The machine has operated for around 16 months and produced about 1500 oligos during this period. As you can see, it is not a heavily used machine.
All preventive maintenances were ok, and the machine was operating just fine and yielding very good quality oligos......
But then it started to present a misalignment between the cart/columns block and the capilaries, pouring reagents out of the columns.
If you look closely you can see that, when the cart with the columns moves and gets to the position assigned, it doesn't stop completely, but slides juuuust a little bit instead. Such a mess!
Calibration doesn't solve the problem: after a calibration, reagents will be delivered correctly into the columns in the first cycle, but as with every move the cart slides a little bit, the misalignment starts to sum up with every move and, at the 3rd cycle, reagents are being spilled outside the columns already.
We are in Brazil. Remotely, LGC team couldn't help. They couldn't even find the problem. The visit of LGC engineering team will coast a lot, and while we are working in resources an bureaucracies to get them here, tips from other users would be welcome and much appreciated.
This machine works with step motor / step motion, which is similar to printers and a lot of other machines. Have you ever seen this kind of issue?
Alternatively, do you know other MerMade users you can put me in touch with?
Thanks in advance
I have a 5038 bp DNA fragment I am trying to extract from an agarose gel with little success. I am running a 50 cycle PCR with HF Q5 Polymerase and get a bright band of the expected size. I have tried both the Qaigen and Monarch gel extraction kits. Monarch performs a little better, but my yield is still low (32.5ng/ul).
I have tried the following adjustments:
1. 1% and 0.7% agarose gels
2. TAE and TBE buffers
3. Centrifuge speeds between 2000-13000 rpm
4. 50C elution buffer
5. Recycling eluate up to 3X through the column.
6. 5 minute RT incubation after adding EB to the column membrane
7. Ensuring the gel is completely dissolved
How can I improve yield? Is there another method of extracting DNA from agarose gels (freezing gel)?
Thanks!
We've been using the AdvanceBio SEC column 120A 1.9um 2.1x150mm PEEK with an Agilent LC QTOF but recently we have been problems with this column and we were not able to perform any runs.
As stated above, one of most popular concepts is a 3-column semi with tower mounted on one of the columns. Since the major wind loadings especially exciting moment on tower base passing on one of the columns, the other two columns don't share 1/3 of the loadings. This arrangement seems inefficient for the other columns and thus it is not a cost-effective solution. In addition, since RNA is located on one of the columns which is away from platform center, it will experience larger acceleration compared to tower is arranged at center of the platform. There are other disadvantages, such as carrying ballast on other two columns in order to have an even keel at quayside which leads to increase draft at quayside to reduce selections of qualified yards for constructions. This issue is more pronouned for large turbine, say 15MW WTG. You may add temporary buoyancy modulars to mitigate this weakness. However, additional costs will be incurred. Please share your thoughts. Thanks,
Jun
Hello everyone, I've just realized that I haven't put the RNeasy MinElute spin column I received with the RNA extraction kit (Qiagen) in the fridge... I received them in December and I've just put them in the fridge on January 17. Knowing that it's quite cold in our lab (around 18 degrees). Is this a problem?
We are using MS5A column for H2 and O2 detection during photocatalysis experiment. Is this column afraid of water and we should not use manual injection and only use autosampler.
but many researchers using manual injection and take samples from the reactor filled with water?
What is correct as we don't have autosampler?

Hi there.
I have to use the pET28a-SUMO vector to get my target protein.
However, I can‘t separate it from SUMO tag.
My protein was about 15 Kda big and has a about 5 value of pI.
Due to the process next is about X-ray diffraction.
How I can i get my protein without tag or without 80% tag?
After tag on/off-columns cleavage, my protein will stick on the Ni column if I want to remove the tag only if I introduce buffer with imidazole. But buffer with imidazole will bring the SUMO tag down even you use 10mM imidazole.
How can i get my protein without SUMO tag ??????
I have tried ion exchange chromatography and It was not work.
6His tag only? Inclusion body.
MBP tag?TEV is trash enzyme and same problem when i remove the tag.
GST tag?A little of protein is soluble.
Dearest fellow scientists,
I've been trying analyze some ions with ion chromatography using suppressed conductivity detection. One of the ions im trying to measure is tertbutylammonium (TBA). Sadly I saw no elution of TBA and I have no idea why. TBA does not seem to show a peak, or elute at all.
I've tried to find literature as to why TBA does not elute but I couldn't find a lot of information. There was one article that examined the elution of TBA on silica and polymer based columns, and it stated that the elution was only possible on a silica-based column (Source: ).
Sadly the article does not explain why the elution was not possible on polymer-based columns, and I want to know why. I'm also questioning the validity of the information, so I decided to ask the experts at ResearchGate :)
Specs of my instrument:
- Dionex ICS-6000
- Dionex CS18 2x250mm cation exchanger column
- Dionex ICS-6000 Dual pump
- Dionex ICS-6000 Eluent Generator
- Dionex ICS-6000 CS-6_cation conductivity detector
Specs of my method:
- Injection volume: 5 microliters
- Flow: 0.25 mL/min
- Mobile phase: Gradient (shown in the attached figure)
- Column temperature: 30 degrees Celsius
- Amperage of the suppressor: 30 mA
- Runtime: 30 minutes
If there's any additional information required, let me know! Thank you in advance.
Now we are working on extracting large-sized plasmids(55kbp,70kbp,100kbp) from E.coli EPI300 by traditional DNA ethanol precipitation method without the spin column. But we can't get good results (Gel electrophoresis does not show distinct, singular target bands.) PS: The colony PCR validation results indicated that the plasmid has successfully been transferred into EPI300.
Any suggestion is welcome. (any commercial kit, methods, protocols)
Thanks.
I'm running MQ on some peptide-level enrichment TurboID samples, so I'm interested in quantifying individual peptides. In past versions of Maxquant (v1.6.14 etc), the peptides.txt file contained LFQ intensity columns for each peptide. However, I just ran my data in Maxquant v 2.4.12, and the LFQ intensity columns are missing in the peptides.txt file. I ran it twice to make sure I had selected all the correct parameters. Does anyone know why these columns are missing, and how to recover them?
Thanks!
Hi all

Volume of inyection: 10 microL
Flow rate: 0.8 mL/min
Column Temperature: 25°C
Column: Xterra Waters RP18 4.6 x 150 mm with 5 micrometers particle size
Equipment: Perkin Elmer LC 300
Detector: diode array
Wavelenght: 240 nm
Thank you very much for your help!
I modeled the 2D frame with OpenSeesPy in a way that the concrete class is variable, there is a distributed load on the beams and horizontal load on only 2 nodes, I analyzed the statics in this way, but I am getting an error in the analysis part.
My modeling steps are very similar to the OpenSeesPy 2D Portal Frame example:
However, while I was doing the analysis using eigen in the example, I did not use eigen. I would like your comments.

We have extracted RNA from our fungal strain, growing in three different carbon source growth conditions. We have received the RNA-Seq data and have carried out different gene expression analysis (DESeq) between either two of the growth conditions.
Now we are interested in the absolute gene expression levels across all the growth conditions apart from DESeq.
I have the raw hit-counts files ready in a table, first column is gene ID, 2-10 columns are the three replicates of condition 1, condition2 and condition3, respectively.
The next step would be normalization of the read counts and generate the absolute gene expression levels. However, I have limited knowledge of R, in this case, can I do it manually or have to use R to do that? Is there any package (including normalization) I can use? How can I generate a table or even a plot such as heatmap of the top 10 genes?
Thank you very much. Any hint or guide will be very much appreciated.
I am currently trying to characterize shortmers of large nucleotides (up to 10k bases) from HPLC fractions and the samples I have available are of very low concentration, especially after fraction collection. Does anyone have experience in this area and have suggestions for how to concentrate the target while removing the mobile phase reagents in the matrix?
I've tried rotovaping followed by purification by silica spin columns with mixed results and concentrations that are still quite low. I've considered TFF spin columns but those are MWC and I need to retain all shortmers and demonstrate that they are indeed nucleotides.
I am working with an AKTA Go equipment. And according to their manuals, it is not possible to use reverse flow in this type of equipment. However, to perform deeper or more effective cleaning in some types of columns, it is required to pass the cleaning reagents through the columns by reverse flow. For example, in Histrap HP, Capto Q and DEAE columns, among others. I thought about connecting the columns upside down, but.... Is it safe to connect such columns like that in those equipments? In the opposite direction than usual? Does anyone have some kind of bibliography or infographic to read about the subject and the procedures to do it?
Hi,
I did an exploratory factor analysis. Direct Oblimin and Principal Axis factoring. The 12 variables loaded on 2 factors. The factor loadings on factor 1 (column one in pattern matrix) and factor loadings on factor 2 (column two in pattern matrix) are highly negatively correlated (R2=0.991).
Is this normal or problematic? Thank you!
I want to use sma-based reinforcement at the particular face in the beam and column. Moreover, is it possible to use typical steel reinforcement and sma-based reinforcement in the same section of beam/column? I need guidelines on how to model it.
I have been having troubles with column purification (for DNA) recently. I am assuming that the reason is the residual ethanol. I used to centrifuge at max speed for 2 minutes to remove residual ethanol. Would using a desiccator do a better job at drying the column?
I found the node of error from result tree. At that node i haven't specifically applied any constraint and it is at the intersection of beam and column
Dear colleagues, does anyone use COSMOSIL Direct Cartridge Holder (ID 4,6 mm, Product No 19989-71). Should I use wrenches to tighten holder to COSMOSIL analytical column (ID 4,6 mm) or it is hand-tigten only to connect with column?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Hi,
I have to plot the wave function at the both valence band and conduction band. I have generated the PARCHG file using vasp. There are 10 columns in this file. What actually they represent? Which columns are needed for this purpose? I was not success to plot this file in VESTA. Could anyone please tell me how to plot with details? Thank you.

Hello PCD community,
I am very interested in building collaborations and discussion around post-column derivatisations in HPLC applications.
This is an area of application that provides selective detection for target components, that may, (1) Simplify analysis of the target species in complex samples, (2) provide a means of detection for solutes with limited chromophores, or other aspects of the sample that make it difficult to detect, or (3) provide a method for confirming the nature of the analyte that responds to the PCD reagent.
I'm seeking knowledge on how and why others in the field undertake their assays and I hope we can build informative discussion on this important area of analytical chemistry.
Looking forward to discussion.
Regards
Andrew
Hello wonderful people out there,
Could anyone please advise why BRIG keeps on generating the following error message while running the analysis:
SYS_ERROR:The following error occurred: org.xml.sax.SAXException: value for 'sequenceLength' attribute in cgview element must be greater than 10 in null at line 1 column 1047

I want to digest sumo/His label when the protein in still hang on the Ni column. I wash the undesired proteins as usual, then balance the column with 3ml enzyme digestion buffer, then add sumo enzyme for digesting the fusion protein at 4℃ for 12h in 4ml sumo digesting buffer. Then catch the flow through liquid, take some sample from flow through liquid and beads after elution for SDS-PAGE, the brand explains the label did not have been cut, it is still on the beads entirely.
Hi everyone,
I'm new in ASPEN, my question is related to the possibility of simulating an adsorption column where on one side you have a stream of pure hydrogen and on the other side you have a stream of a liquid metal. The objective of this column is to solubilize the hydrogen in the liquid metal according to Sieverts' law. Then, as an apposite step, I would like to simulate the stripping of the hydrogen solubilized in the liquid metal by using an inert gas.
My question is twofold: 1) is it possible to add a liquid metal with known thermophysical and transport properties in ASPEN? 2) how do I have to implement the Sieverts' law since only Henry'ss law seems to be implemented in ASPEN?
The absorption column is indeed a packed column.
Hello all,
I am currently trying to purify a fragment of the large surface protein of HBV however during purification I notice that a white precipitate form on the Ni-NTA column. (At pH 8.0; pI of protein = 6.97) I'm using a simple lysis buffer (50 mM imidazole, 50 mM NaH2PO4, 300 mM NaCl, (5% glycerol in some cases but no significant difference))
The protein was in solution in the cell lysate, ie before loading onto the column and the precipitate is confirmed to be my protein.
Washing and eluting at pH 8 resulted in a milky, cloudy white eluate.
Washing and eluting at lower pH of below 6 has helped to solubilize protein and the solution is clear.
For subsequent experiments I need to bind my protein to Ni-NTA carrying liposomes but as soon as my protein comes into contact with them it precipitates. The protein also precipitated when adding a bit of NiSO4 solution.
Any ideas as to how I can avoid this issue?
Hello everyone,
I have applied 1D CNN on speech emotion recognition, when I shuffled columns I got diffrent results, for example, using matrix(:,[1 2 3]) gives different classification results than matrix(:,[2 3 1]) which should be the same, I have tried rng("default") but it hasn't resolved the issue. Can someone please assist me with this?
Thank you in advance!
Hello,
I am currently working on a packed column model in SolidWorks. The column comprises a packing material consisting of numerous beads (or other packing types such as Raschig rings) initially positioned outside and above the column. To achieve a random packing configuration, I utilized SolidWorks Motion Study. By defining contacts between parts and enabling gravity forces, the beads descend and fill the column randomly, as depicted in the attached file (including the assembly, parts, and screenshots). Now, I aim to maintain the positions of these beads once I transition from the Motion Study tab to the Model tab. Does anyone have a solution for this?
Thank you.
One day my HPLC peaks were nice and tall, narrow, almost perfectly Gaussian, and the next day they were short and fat.
Same sample in the same solvent
Same HPLC method
Measured the mobile phase flow rate and it was correct
So I call the column manufacturer and they suggested:
Smaller sample loop - still short and fat
Lower concentration - still short and fat
Completely different column (C-18) - still short and fat.
Any ideas?
Thank you
Kevin

I was asked to design a benzene production plant via a thermal toluene hydrodealkylation process, and one of the parts was to separate the benzene and toluene via distillation. I am unsure why the thermal separation is taken at 3 bar pressure. The 3 bar was assumed from the Richard Turton book - Analysis, Synthesis, and Design of Chemical Processes, Fourth Edition by Richard Turton.
This problem is relatively easy solved when stiffeners are identical and obeying rotational Hooke's law, i.e., are linear. The case of different but comparable with each other stiffeness coefficients is very cumbersome and it demands solving a system of transcendental equations to get a critical load even in Euler'sregime.
I've failed in searching the solution of this problem in scientific and educational literature however I don't like "to invent a bike". May be anybody has some references on this problem or even an article or book chapter.
The way I solve this problrm see the paper "Buckling in inelastic regime of a uniform console with symmetrical cross section: computer modeling by the use of Maple 18" on my profile.
Thanx everybody in advance
Best regards

Which mobile phase, a wavelenght and a flow rate would be the best?
The column is packed with ODP stationary phase. My sample also contains NaOH, H2O2, therefore I need to avoid interference of these substances.
LigaTrap's Human IgA purification column and Cytiva's HiTrap Protein A column do not isolate IgA type 1 and 2 from other immunoglobulins. LigaTrap's technical service informed me that their resin would bind other immunoglobulins, not just IgAs. I tried Cytiva's column with the understanding that it would capture IgA in the column, but it did not. What we are setting out to do is very simple, we want to deplete a commercial CSF of IgAs, so we need a column that will bind IgAs only. I have not been successful in finding a product that does this, and would appreciate any help or advice. Thank you!
Hi

Do you know what are the cheapest houses made entirely of reinforced concrete on which my patent has a performance? The prefabricated ones.
The acceleration of the earth on which the structure rests imposes a displacement in one direction on the building which reacts with another force in the opposite direction which we call inertia.
These two forces with different heights impose a overturning moment on the structure.
This overturning moment acts as follows.
If we have a rigid and elevated dynamic building made entirely of reinforced concrete, then the building will overturn entirely in a large earthquake. That is, its entire base will become a wall and the wall will become a base.
If the building has beams and columns then neither the columns are simply bent over, nor do the beams have the strength to rotate the building around itself, nor will the base of the building leave the ground. The reason is that neither the beams nor the columns have such strong cross-sections that they are able to rotate the structure and overturn it.
If we have walls and beams then the weaker cross sections of the beams will break, and the structure will be left on the ground without rotating and overturning.
The ceiling, however, will come down on our heads.
Here we see three different structures reacting differently. But not all of them react the way we want them to.
We don't want the columns to break, we don't want the beams to break, and we don't want it to tip over.
If we take the dynamic version of the structure that is made entirely of reinforced concrete that only topples but does not break, and embed it in the ground with strong anchors, then I ask any would-be denier of my method what damage can be done?
The structure will suffer no damage.
Do you know any more are the cheapest houses made entirely of reinforced concrete on which my patent has performed? The prefabricated ones. .... It doesn't pay off...the system and cheap and seismically sound.
The all reinforced concrete building has two main levers.
That of height and that of width.
That of height contrasts with that of width.
The one of height multiplies the moments that descend to the base and overturn the structure, and the one of width resists this overturning. So the force of inertia along with the height multiplies the overturning moments, while the building's footing on the other end of the width lever arm along with the distance from the pivot point stops the building from overturning.
The farther the anchorage is from the pivot point of the rigid building, the lower the overturning force it receives.
I have a question from the literature: How does an irrigation rate of (96 mL/hr.) equal (8.5 L/m2.h) if I have a column of 125 mm in diameter and 2m long?
i am optimizing a reactive distillation column. I have simulated a base case in Aspen Plus and now want to calculate its total annual cost in Matlab. while linking aspen Plus and Matlab i need path to node for column diameter from variable explorer in aspen plus i guess the path to node should be " reactive_distillation.Tree.FindNode("\Data\Blocks\RDC\Subobjects\Column Internals\INT-1\Subobjects\Sections\CS-1\Output\CA_DIAM1").
But this path gives zero value for diameter while column diameter is 2.43
can you help in this? what path should i use for this in aspen version 10.

I have a large sparse matrix A which is column rank-defficient. Typical size of A is over 100000x100000. In my computation, I need the matrix W whose columns span the null space of A. But I do not know how to fastly compute all the columns of W.
If A is small-scale, I know there are several numerical methods based on matrix factorization, such as LU, QR, SVD. But for large-scale matrices, I can not find an efficient iterative method to do this.
Could you please give me some help?

Hi Everyone,
I have difficulties with my current work analyzing S-Methylmethionine(SMM).
According to several reports, the analysis of SMM can be done by HPLC with a UV detector (338nm) and OPA reagent. Meanwhile, there is another report showing SMM still can be analyzed without OPA. Later on, I tried to follow the report but I failed to obtain the SMM peak chromatogram.
FYI, the system that I used in my lab:
- HPLC (THermo vanquish)
- UV-DAD detector
- Zorbax AAA column
- 40mM NaH2PO4 (mobile phase A)
- MeOH:ACN:Water (45%:45%:10% mobile phase B)
Please let me know If you guys have any information or experience about analyzing SMM without OPA.
Thank you

Hello everyone,
I'm simulating the axial compressive behavior of both circular and rectangular CFSST stub columns. Things went fine with the circular section but the opposite applied to the rectangular section as the solution didn't converge and not even reach at least my desired applied load (displacement control)
I used both C3D8R element for both steel tube and core concrete with contact property as follows:
Tangential direction: Penalty method with 0.6 coefficient
Normal direction: Hard contact (allows for separation after in contact)
The effect of corner region of the steel tube is also considered by partitioning the steel tube into multiple parts (See figures below). I tried both static general and static riks but none of them converge with the step time increment of:
initial increment: 0.001, minimum: 1E-20, max: 0.05 (or even smaller such as 0.025)
Please help me out guys. I'm really desperate for this problem.

Hi all,
So I have been doing high-throughput RNA extractions on xylem from Eucalyptus hybrids (urophylla x grandis). My extraction combines a custom CTAB protocol with silica column binding and purification of the RNA. In a single column format this protocol works great (>50ng/ul, 260/230 between 1.8 and 2.0 etc), but it isn't going great in a 96-well plate, so I am busy optimizing. Generally my yield is a bit low due to the nature of the samples, but I have never had this banding phenomenon circled in blue. The nanodrop readings of these samples aren't fantastic either (below 10ng/ul and 260/230 below 1.00). I have worked with samples before that have organic contamination, but have never seen this banding on a gel before. Any suggestions as to what might be causing this? For context this is a normal 1% agarose gel stained with ethidium bromide and I also treat the gel with bleach beforehand to get rid of any RNases in the agarose.
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated!

A simple pin-pin column , and the Euler buckling load is Pi^2/L^2*EI. If I have a uniform lateral load, then the deformation of column as a bow, what will be the new Elastic Buckling load, is it going to be same ?
I understand that any axial load, increase the bow deflection by 1/(1-P/PE) , where P is axial load and PE is Euler buckling load (straight case). so the buckling in case of lateral load is still at P=PE, then deformation tends to infinite ?
Dear all,
I am trying to model the contact between the BEAM elements in my model for collapse analysis. I start off with a simple analysis where I have modelled a beam hitting a column, as shown in the picture below. The beam experienced some stress as it approached the column however no stress was experienced by the column. At the end of the analysis, the beam just passed through the column. How is this possible? Am I doing something wrong?
Any help will be greatly appreciated! Many thanks!
Kind regards,

I would like to know the minimum and maximum percentage of steel as per international codes.
Is there a source for a geocell-reinforced embankment relying on a controlled modulus column?
Specifically, what is the difference between
A) POPDATA=1, LOCPRIOR=1, LOCDATA=0, LOCISPOP=1 and
B) POPDATA=0, LOCPRIOR=1, LOCDATA=1, LOCISPOP=0 ?
For the clustering algorithm and calculating Q, I think it is the same. In both cases, the Locprior model uses the sampling location information, only from formally different sources (POPDATA or LOCDATA column). The further difference is that the A settings generate Q values not only for individuals but also for pre-defined populations.
Am I right?
Thank you.

Preliminary simulation and numerical investigation was carried out at the National Technical University of Athens in order to draw useful conclusions regarding the usefulness of the new seismic technology. The results were encouraging, as it significantly increased the load-bearing capacity and the shear strength of the cross section near the base by 31%, although the simulation was not performed correctly, resulting in insufficient calculation of the actual benefits. The method applies compression to the cross-section of the wall or shaft using tensioned tendons on all their sides, which are firmly anchored to the ground with expanding pile and anchor mechanisms. The method of compressing the sides of the cross-sections and the mechanism of the anchoring have the following purpose. The prestressing plus the anchoring of the wall sides from their highest level with the foundation ground ensures slight deformation and eliminates the right forces (N), torques (M) and shear (Q). It deflects the inertia intensities in the ground, increases the active cross-section of the wall, ensures a strong foundation ground, corrects the oblique tensile arrows, restores the construction to its original position even after inelastic leakage. Provides less ground displacement, at which point less acceleration. What they did not do in the attachment simulation and the results were altered are the following.
1) The title of the simulation states that it will be placed in a bearing of the carrier while in the simulation it was placed in all 9 pillars of the three-storey construction. The method is effective when you place on all sides of the wells or in elongated walls due to the double lever they have, that of the height and width which helps to reduce the moments of overturning of the walls.
2) In the simulation the anchoring to the ground was not applied because what they did was to apply only loads to the nodes of the highest level. This increases the stiffness of the columns as well as increases the strength of the cross-sections towards the intersection of the base, but it does not deflect the forces in the ground, since there is no anchoring, with the result that the torques inevitably lead to the cross-sections of the joints and break them.
3) The walls, because they are anchored from all their sides to the ground, have more anchoring mechanisms than the columns, which have a small square cross-section and accept only one tendon in the center of their cross-section, so they do not have the required performance in simulation, due to the reduced number of anchorages. On the other hand the walls are more rigid by nature so the deformation is less than with the columns. Also the resistance of the walls to the shear force of the base is by nature greater than that of the small cross section of the column. All of these coefficients that are absent from the simulation distort the results. Another serious comparison factor between my method and the trampled method which was ignored in the simulation, is the high tensile strength of the steel and the low shear strength of the concrete which contribute to the premature rupture of the concrete overlap and the , which destroys the cooperation of concrete and steel in the mechanism of relevance. In the pre-tensioning of my method there is no relevance so neither is this problem. Of course, the increase in the capacity of the foundation soil was completely ignored.
My research is multidimensional. It consists of three different fields of research. For this reason you need a lot of money, time, knowledge of science and above all a lot of patience. Nobody finances my research because they can not assess the risk of investing without having this knowledge that I have gained from my 14 years of research and of course they must be rich. Many times money and knowledge do not go together, although in research it is a necessary condition to have both in order to have results. Conduct.. 1) Research on the response of the structure to seismic shifts with and without my method. 2) I investigate..The response of the foundation ground to static and seismic loads, with and without the anchoring mechanism. 3) I investigate The design of the appropriate anchoring mechanism so that it can withstand the calculated traction loads, and has the ability to improve by compacting different quality soils They are three different researches ... (Civil engineering research, Geological engineering research, Mechanical engineering research) ... with one purpose. To make the constructions in the earthquake cheaper and stronger.
