Merck Millipore Amicon Ultra-0.5 Centrifugal Filters

Merck Millipore Amicon Ultra-0.5 Centrifugal Filters

Description

Merck Millipore Amicon Ultra-0.5 Centrifugal Filters are designed for the rapid concentration and purification of biological samples using centrifugal force. These devices facilitate the recovery of proteins, nucleic acids, and other macromolecules while allowing smaller solutes and solvents to pass through a semi-permeable membrane. The vertical housing design minimises solute polarisation and subsequent fouling, ensuring high flow rates and efficient sample processing even in solutions with high particle loads.

Key Features

• Vertical membrane orientation reduces concentration polarisation for faster processing times
• High solute recovery rates typically exceeding 90% for efficient sample handling
• Heat-sealed membrane construction prevents bypass and ensures sample integrity
• Compatible with standard fixed-angle and swinging-bucket rotors for laboratory centrifuges
• Dead-stop technology prevents samples from spinning to dryness during centrifugation

Applications

• Concentration of dilute protein or nucleic acid samples
• Desalting and buffer exchange of biological solutions
• Removal of primers, linkers, or labels from reaction mixtures
• Purification of macromolecular components from cell culture supernatants

Disclaimer

Users should verify chemical compatibility between their specific sample solvents and the filter housing and membrane materials before use.
