Introduction
The Thermo Scientific™ Zeba™ Spin Desalting Columns contain a high-performance resin that offers exceptional desalting
or buffer-exchange for protein samples. Samples volumes between 2µL-4mL and containing as low as 20µg of protein/mL
can be processed with unsurpassed protein recovery and 95% retention of salts and other small molecules (< 1000Da).
These columns require no chromatography system. The spin-column method eliminates waiting for samples to emerge by
gravity flow and the subsequent monitoring of fractions for protein recovery.
Important Product Information
The Zeba Spin Desalting Columns and Plates contain a size-exclusion chromatographic resin to separate proteins from
small molecules. As with all size exclusion-based separation, the amount of small molecule removed and protein
recovered are affected by the nature of the molecules and volume of sample. The sample volumes recommended provide
exceptional removal of a variety of small molecules (typically > 95% for molecules < 1000Da); however, proteins and
small molecules often behave differently than predicted because of a variety of factors such as hydrophobicity,
secondary structure and interactions. Therefore, some optimization of sample volume might be required to achieve
optimal performance for each specific sample. In general, reducing the sample volume added to the column increases
small molecule removal, and increasing sample volume maximizes protein recovery.
Also available are Zeba Spin Desalting Columns and Plates with a 40K MWCO, which enable removal of salts and other
small molecules < 2000Da and recovery of proteins and other macromolecules > 40,000Da.

Questions and Answers

    How to prevent sample contamination in Thermo Scientific Medical Equipment?
    • M
      Melissa PetersonAug 4, 2025
      To prevent sample contamination when using Thermo Scientific Medical Equipment, apply the sample directly to the center of the resin bed, touching the tip to the resin to expel all of the sample. Avoid contact with the sides of the column. If you are using fixed-angle rotors, place the column in the same orientation each time and do not exceed the recommended centrifuge speed or time. Improper centrifugation or sample loading can lead to contamination.

    Why is there a low yield with my Thermo Scientific Medical Equipment?
    • M
      Morgan MelendezAug 11, 2025
      If you are experiencing low yield with your Thermo Scientific Medical Equipment, first ensure that the sample was completely in solution before adding it to the column by centrifuging the sample at 14,000 × g for 10 minutes. If a portion of the protein is still remaining in the spin column, use a stacker to recover more protein. Check for protein solubility in the final buffer or solution, as protein may have precipitated in the equilibration buffer. If the protein is bound to the resin matrix, consider using an alternative resin.

    What to do if sample doesn't flow through resin in Thermo Scientific Medical Equipment?
    • S
      Steven WilliamsAug 19, 2025
      If your sample or buffer does not flow through the resin in your Thermo Scientific Medical Equipment, make sure the centrifuge is in proper working condition. Also, ensure that the bottom closure is removed and the top cap is loosened before use.

    Why is recovered protein dilute with Thermo Scientific Zeba Medical Equipment?
    • S
      Samantha MitchellAug 26, 2025
      If the recovered protein or sample is dilute when using Thermo Scientific Medical Equipment, ensure that the wash/equilibration buffer was adequately removed by centrifugation before adding the sample. The column should appear uniformly white with no solvent streaks.
