In general, I would wherever possible bind the protein in batch mode
- 15-30 mins with occasional swirling.
And then pour in a column, wash and elute. If washing and eluting is
very slow, I would apply a little pressure that one time, but the
next time make sure to choose a wider column.
Another common "mistake" is to take too much resin - the minimal
amount to bind the protein should be used, any more will usually lead
to more impurities upon elution.
