i want to separate polar plant extract on Diaion and Sephadex LH-20 and i want to know can i re-use Diaion and Sephadex LH-20? if yes then what is the procedure?
These can be re-used. The diaion ion exchange resins can be washed, and regenerated with the appropriate counter ions.
CHP-20 can also be reused, but you might find the material at the top of the column might need to be discarded if the colored material won't come off. Wash with methanol or acetonitrile.
LH-20 can be washed with a variety of solvents. First, remove the colored material from the top.. Then, unpack the rest of the column and wash and filter. The sephadex needs to be unpacked because it swells differently in different solvents This swelling could stop flow through a column.
yes you can. Just wash Diaion with acetone and MeOH and re-use it again. For Sephadex, run the column with MeOH for a short time and check the eluate by TLC. If no compounds, re-use it
