Hi pawel,
its better to dialyse or ultrafiltrate your sample after the IE
chromatography!
Alternativly you can use a desalting column or ZIPTIPs (e.g. Qiagen).
For most samples you need strong Ions in the IE chromatography. May be that
the carbonate degas as CO2 and you will get some bubbles in your column.
Good Luck
