Microcon® Centrifugal Filter Units

The lab standard for sub-microliter volumes

   • Solute recoveries typically >95%, ideal for dilute (ng/mL to µg/mL range) protein solutions
   • Patented deadstop for reproducible concentrate volumes
   • Inverted spin method of concentrate retrieval maximizes recovery
   • Low-binding Ultracel membrane
   • Color coding indicates MW cut-off
   • Convenient sample storage of filtrate or concentrated sample in standard microfuge collection tube
   • Use in standard 1.5 mL tube fixed-angle rotors

Applications

   • Concentrating and purifying proteins, antibodies and nucleic acids (alternative to EtOH precipitation)
   • Desalting and buffer exchange
   • Removal of primers, linkers and unincorporated label

New Amicon Ultra-0.5 mL filters

Available in 3,000 and 10,000 MWCO, the vertical membrane design of Amicon Ultra-0.5 mL filters allows equal to or better sample concentration than Microcon filters, but in half the spin times.
