Abstract
This protocol uses the Pierce™ High pH Reversed-Phase Peptide Fractionation Kit (Thermo Fisher, Cat# 84868)
Conditioning the columns

4m
4m
Remove the white cap on the end of the column and place the column in a 2 mL collection tube.
Centrifuge at 5000 rcf, 00:02:00 at Room temperature, discard the liquid.
2m
Remove the screw cap and add 300 µL acetonitrile (ACN) to the column (replacing the screw cap after).
Centrifuge at 5000 rcf, 00:02:00 at Room temperature, discard the liquid.
2m
Repeat steps 3 and 4 (for a total of 2 washes with ACN).
Repeat steps 3 – 5 with 0.1% TFA instead of ACN (total of 2x washes with 0.1% TFA).
The column is now ready to use.

16m 20s
Add 300 µL of 0.1% v/v trifluoroacetic acid to each sample.
Vortex for ~ 00:00:10
10s
Leave to incubate for 00:05:00 at Room temperature
5m
Vortex for ~ 00:00:10
10s
Sonicate in a waterbath sonicator for 00:05:00 in an ice slurry.
5m
Load each sample into a fractionation column, replace the cap and centrifuge at 3000 rcf, 00:02:00 (keep eluate as ‘flow through’ fraction).
2m
Place the column into a new tube, and load 300 µL of water, and centrifuge at 3000 rcf, 00:02:00(keep eluate as ‘wash’ fraction).
2m
Place the column into a new tube, and load the TMT wash solution (5% ACN, 0.1% triethylamine (TEA)) .
Place the column into a new tube, and load 300 µL of the appropriate elution solution (see table below), and centrifuge at 3000 rcf, 00:02:00to collect the fraction.
2m
Repeat step 5 for each step of the gradient fraction.
If you are concatenating the fractions, combine the fractions into the desired combinations
Lyophilise all samples until there are only a few µL left in the tube
