Billerica, Massachusetts—July 13, 2010—Millipore Corporation (NYSE: MIL), a leading provider of technologies, tools and services for the global life science industry, today introduced the new Amicon Ultra-2.0 mL filter, the newest in the Amicon Ultra line of centrifugal filters for protein or nucleic acid concentration, as well as buffer exchange.

Offering 50-fold concentration with 98% recovery rates in as little as 10 minutes of centrifugation, the Amicon Ultra-2.0 mL device provides the highest recovery with the fastest spin times in its product class. The device contains an ultrafiltration membrane with molecular weight cut-offs (MWCO) of 3,000, 10,000, 30,000, 50,000, or 100,000.

Decades of experience in filtration enabled Millipore engineers to develop the new filter’s innovative design. The Amicon Ultra-2.0 mL device combines a vertical membrane orientation with a unique reverse spin capability, enabling both fast concentration and high yields. In addition, an engineered dead stop provides predictable final sample volumes and prevents spinning samples to dryness, which can denature labile proteins.

The Amicon Ultra-2.0 mL filter complements the Amicon Ultra-0.5 mL, Amicon Ultra-4 mL, and Amicon Ultra-15 mL filters, which have become standard tools for sample preparation via frequent citations in peer-reviewed literature.
