General description

Amicon® Ultra 15 mL centrifugal devices with Ultracel® 10,000 Dalton molecular weight cutoff filters provide fast ultrafiltration, and reliable retention of macromolecules. For example, Cytochrome C (12.4 kDa) at 0.25 mg/ml initial concentration is retained at >95% .

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 80-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.

The concentrate is collected from the filter device sample reservoir using a pipetter, while the ultrafiltrate is collected in the provided centrifuge tube. The device can be spun in a swinging bucket or fixed angle rotor. With their vertical membrane design and deadstop, Amicon® Ultra 15 mL filters deliver the highest recovery with short spin times.

Application

  • Ultrafiltration with 10,000 Dalton molecular weight cutoff Ultracel® membrane.
  • Concentration of biological samples containing antigens, antibodies, enzymes, nucleic acids, or microorganisms.
  • Purification of macromolecular components found in tissue culture extracts or cell lysates and protein removal prior to HPLS.
  • Concentration of dilute or pre-purified proteins from column eluents.
  • Desalting, buffer exchange and protein dialysis.

Features and Benefits

  • Ultracel® regenerated cellulose membrane with 10 kDa NMWCO delivers retentate recovery of greater than 90%.
  • Vertical membrane reduces concentration polarization for ultra-fast spin times (as fast as 10-15 minutes).
  • Heat-sealed membrane minimizes downstream extractables.
  • 100% integrity tested for reliable performance.
  • Convenient sample monitoring with translucent housing and volume gradations.
  • Direct pipettor sample access eliminates processing step to recover concentrate.
  • High concentration factors of 80–100X.

Questions

1–5 of 5 Questions  
  1. Do you make a miniature version of the Amicon® Ultra Centrifugal Filter for 1.5ml samples?

    1 answer
    1. Yes, product UFC5010, the Amicon Ultra 2.0 for samples of 0.5 - 2.0 mL, will accommodate a 1.5 mL sample size. Please see the link below to review this product option:

  2. Does ultrafiltration of protein samples result in lower migration on an SDS-PAGE gel?

    1 answer
    1. ​Yes, ultrafiltration of protein samples can potentially lead to lower migration on an SDS-PAGE gel.During the ultrafiltration process, the desalting or buffer exchange step may remove or reduce sodium chloride (NaCl), leading to lower protein migration on the gel. To prepare protein samples for gel electrophoresis, using an Amicon Ultra (AU) device or a suitable desalting/buffer exchange method is recommended.

  4. Hello, I'm using UFC903096 (Amicon-15, 30K) and am trying to exchange and concentrate without over-concentrating <500uL ... Would you have a table of the volume to add to the filtrate collector to ensure ~ final product volumes. Thanks!

    1 answer
    1. This product is suitable for sample volumes of less than 15 mL. Please see the link below to review the estimated volumes:

  5. How to wash the column after one time used for the buffer exchange or for protein concentration. Is any protocol please share??

    1 answer
    1. We do not recommend reusing the device because eventually the membrane will clog completely. We have yet to record an efficient way to clean the pores of the membrane without damaging the membrane itself.
