Hi Matt,

Decreasing the NaCl will allow you to do an ion-exchange column if your Ni-NTA eluate is not pure enough. The Qiagen NiNTA handbook (QIAexpressionist; packed with information) recommends 300 mM NaCl to prevent non-specific binding while still allowing a sufficiently tight interaction between the his-tag and the column. Plus, depending on your downstream application, 500 mM NaCl may interfere with whatever you're looking for.
