removal of SDS from protein samples

[Siddhartha S Mitra]

I have used triton-X-100 with NP40 or some other non ionic detergent at an
excess of 9:1 and have ben able to remove sds to the level I desire. I usually
use it convert a denaturing IP to non denaturing conditions I guess it depends
on the properties of your protein of interest
