related equipment. A specific sanitization protocol should be designed for
each process according to the type of contaminants present and stability of
coupled ligand. Following are generally recommended procedures.
Equilibrate with a buffer consisting of 2% hibitane digluconate and 20%

Note: Specific regulations may apply when using 70% ethanol since it can
require the use of explosion-proof areas and equipment.
Storage

included to preserve the bead form of the medium. When stored below 8 °C,
the shelf life is at least 18 months. Packed columns should preferebly be
equilibrated in binding buffer containing 20% ethanol (ligand dependent) to
prevent microbial growth.
