General description
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 30-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.
Amicon® Ultra-0.5 devices are supplied non-sterile and are for single use only. With their vertical membrane design and reverse spin, Amicon® Ultra 0.5 mL filters deliver great performance and lower spin times.
Application
- Ultrafiltration with 100,000 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, primer removal, linkers, or macromolecular labels from a reaction mix, and protein removal prior to HPLC
- Desalting, buffer exchange, and protein dialysis
Features and Benefits

Protocols
If an antibody must be purified from a small sample volume (0.5-10 mL), then the Amicon® Pro Purification System is recommended.
Detergents are frequently used to solubilize proteins and nucleic acids during purification, but the presence of detergents may interfere with downstream analyses.
