In many cases, signaling factors maintain the stem cell in an uncommitted state.

Proteins differ in the amount of hydrophobic amino acids that are present on their surface. This difference can be exploited in salt fractionation but can also be used in a higher resolution method using hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC).

In the HIC some highly hydrophobic proteins may not even be eluted in the total absence of salt in such case water-miscible organic solvent such as propanol or ethylene glycol to the column buffer solution.

Ion-exchange chromatography relies on the attraction between oppositely charged stationary phase, known as an ion exchanger, and analyte.
