General description
Amicon® Ultra-2 mL centrifugal devices with
Ultracel® 30,000 Dalton molecular weight cutoff filters provide
fast ultrafiltration, with the capability for high concentration factors and
easy concentrate recovery from dilute and complex sample matrices. For example,
Ovalbumin (45 kDa) at 1 mg/ml initial concentration is typically retained at
97% .
The vertical design and available membrane surface area provide fast sample
processing, high sample recovery (typically greater than 90% of dilute starting
solution), and the capability for 50-fold concentration. Solute polarization
and subsequent fouling of the membrane are minimized by the vertical design,
and a physical deadstop in the filter device prevents spinning to dryness and
potential sample loss. Efficient recovery of the concentrated sample (retained
species) is achieved by a convenient reverse spin step after collecting the
filtrate.
The device can be spun in a swinging bucket or fixed angle rotor. Amicon® Ultra-2
mL devices are supplied non-sterile and are for single use only. With their
vertical membrane design and reverse spin, Amicon® Ultra 2 mL
filters deliver the highest recovery with shortest spin times.
We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative
Products, which have been re-engineered to enable more sustainable research
solutions. The inner filtration device is made from bio-circular material
allocated using the ISCC mass balance approach. Click here for
