I personally prefer vydac column. I have also used an Agilent machine for gpcr purification. When you get a column, it comes with the instruction to clean the column. Otherwise, you can try several runs of 90% Acentonitrile with 0.01% TFA to clean the column. Use mass spec or western blot to confirm the purity of the elute.

I would ask this question in a biochemistry forum though..
