Depends. If you can precipitate it (ammonium sulfate, PEG, etc)
it is probably easiest. Alternatively, stirring cell ultrafiltration.
If volumes are too large, then binding to the column (hydroxylapatite,

If it is serum-containing medium, there should be no problem with
proteases because sera contain enough protease inhibitors. If
it is serum-free medium, then there is not much one can do except
