Sepharose is dextran conjugated to agarose beads. Pores absorb small molecules (salts etc) but proteins are excluded because too big (hence size exclusion chromatography) and run off the column. But if pore is too big you get nonspecific binding of the protein inside. Especially for peptides and small proteins. As I said before go look up sepharose at wikipedia and GE life sci website and you can quickly educate yourself sufficiently to decide what you need exactly.

I don't know but (a good way to start a sentence :D ) I guess that pore width is very important. If pores are too small, proteins cannot diffuse into it and you don't get size separation (?)

Can someone tell me what the difference is between sepharose and
agarose? Is sepharose agarose beads with known porosity for
chromatography, or is it just plain agarose, or chemically modified agarose?
I recall during research into nickel columns that sepharose was at least
based heavily on agarose with a few tiny changes, but I don't know
whether those changes were specific to the nickel immobilised version of
sepharose, or general to "sepharose", nor do I know in the latter case
what the changes accomplish..

> Gravity flow size exclusion should work fine. As someone else said use Sepharose or Sephadex. You can find it on eBay pretty cheap. If you have money to spare buying old (H)FPLC pumps is pretty cheap on eBay. I think there are people who do (H)FPLC on this list but people probably just don't have time or motivation to run samples for you, including me.
