DAC Column Packing
Ensure the Seplife® RP LXMS 30 resin is fully dispersed and free of agglomerates; for this purpose shake or roll the bottle with the packing media or ultrasonicate for approximately five minutes. Use the following guideline to pack the chromatographic column:
(1) Measure the desired mass or volume of homogeneous slurry with about 1.2 times the column volume.
(2) Replace the 20% ethanol storage solution with 100% methanol or 80% acetonitrile solution and equilibrate overnight.
(3) Before loading the column, adjust the slurry concentration to 50-70% with 100% methanol or 80% acetonitrile solution, and pour the entire volume of homogenate into the DAC chromatography column.
(4) Complete the assembly of the column and operate the packing station according to the manufacturer instructions. A piston packing pressure of approximately 0.8-2.0 MPa is recommended. Ensure that the packing pump pressure has been calculated using the correct ratio for the column ID/packing station being used to give a piston pressure.
(5) Once column packing is complete, the flow of packing solvent is ceased and the pump stopped, allow the column to equilibrate for 10 minutes.
(6) Lock the column plunger in the compressed position so that the column can be operated in the Static Axial Compression (SAC) mode.
(7) The packed column is now ready for use. It can be used while still assembled on the packing station or it can be undocked for use in a purification facility .

Column Efficiency Evaluation
After packing, clean the chromatographic column with 3-5 CV of 100% methanol or 80% acetonitrile solution. The flow rate should be controlled at 120-180 cm/h to balance and perform column efficiency test.
The test method for column efficiency of RP chromatography columns is as follows:
Mobile phase: 100% methanol or 80% acetonitrile solution
Linear flow rate: 120-180 cm/h
Sample: 1:9 (v:v) Acetone in 100% methanol or 80% acetonitrile
Loading volume: 1 % of column volume;
Detection: UV @ 254 or 280 nm ;
The prep-HPLC system geometry, including dead volume, will significantly affect the plate count determination.

Equilibration
Equilibrate with the mobile phase for 3-4 CV, and control the flow rate at 120-180 cm/h until the conductance and pH of the flow-through remain unchanged before loading the sample.

Sample feeding
The solid sample can be prepared by dissolving in the equilibrium solution. Low-concentration sample solutions can be concentrated in advance as much as possible while too high concentration sample solution can be diluted with the equilibration solution. To avoid clogging of the column, samples should be processed by centrifugation or membrane filtration. The feed amount is calculated according to the capacity of the resin and the content of the target protein in the feed solution. Before loading, ensure the sample buffer is as consistent as possible with the equilibration solution.

Elution
Use 2-10 CV of methanol, ethanol, acetonitrile, acetone, etc. (aqueous) solution to elute; use acid, caustic or buffer to adjust the pH or use a combination both to elute the molecules of interest.

Regeneration and CIP
First use acetonitrile, methanol, ethanol, acetone, NaOH in ethanol or other solvents to wash the column (3-4 CV) according to the operating flow rate, and then use the equilibration solution to rinse (3-4 CV).

Storage
Sealed and stored at 4-30°C (preservation solution is 20% ethanol) in a ventilated, dry and clean place, do not freeze.
