This invention is directed to methods for removing, preferably simultaneously and in one step, multiple impurities form crude culture samples, and, in particular, the removal of media components, protein, nucleic acids, lipids, and lipopolysaccharides to ultralow levels. Preferably the purification process comprises: (1) binding of the target substance containing one or more contaminants to a chromatography matrix; (2) washing the bound target substance with one or more buffers containing a synergistic combination of a lyotropic agent or organic solvent, a detergent, and a salt component; and (3) desorbing the target substance from the chromatography matrix, so that the eluate contains ultra low levels of contaminants. The reduction of impurities that can be achieved is preferably 91-99.9% as compared to the amount of impurities in the target substance before purification. The invention is also directed to the targets products that have been so purified.
