Re: 1. Problem with sephadex G 75 (Catherine Wong)
Hi Catherine,
My GF buffer which i solubilize my protein

I do not think NaCl is too low. pH may be the problem. You mentioned your
protein's theoritical pI is about 6.99. pH 8.0 may be too close to the pI.
I'd suggest increasing the pH by 1 (or decrease to 4.5 or 5, depending on
which one your protein is most stable). Remember that the pI of BSA is
around 5 should you use the same buffer for BSA.
HOwever, you could not see any peaks of BSA (or could you?), that's kinda
weird. How much volume of buffer did you use to elute your BSA?

You should first clean the column with milliQ water after the buffer, then
with NaOH. Repeat with water after NaOH prior to buffer. Tris solubility
changes as pH changes. Furthermore if you include some cations in your
buffer, they may crystallize when they meet NaOH.
Hope this helps.
