Corning Spin-X UF centrifugal concentrators offer a simple, one step procedure for concentrating or desalting proteins and other biomolecules with 90% or better recovery.
Features and Benefits
- The patented vertical membrane design and thin channel filtration chamber (U.S. Patent No. 5,647,990), minimizes membrane fouling and provides fast, high speed concentrating, even with particle laden solutions
- Integrated dead stop design eliminates risk of spinning to dryness; no respinning necessary
- Choice of three sizes for greater flexibility:
- Spin-X UF 500 for samples up to 500 µL
- Spin-X UF 6 for samples up to 6 mL
- Spin-X UF 20 for samples up to 20 mL, 14 ml if using fixed angle rotors
- Low binding polyethersulfone (PES) membranes are available with five molecular weight cut-offs (MWCO): 5,000, 10,000, 30,000, 50,000, and 100,000 to meet all of your concentrating needs. Choose an MWCO one-half to one-third smaller than the protein to be concentrated
- The MWCO and graduations are printed right on the side of the concentrator tube to avoid mix-ups
- Spin-X UF 6 and 20 concentrators can be used with either swinging bucket or fixed angle rotors. Spin-X UF 500 concentrators require fixed angle rotors.
Spin-X UF 500 for 100 to 500 µL samples
Spin-X UF 500 µL centrifugal filter units offer a simple, one step procedure for sample preparation.They can effectively be used in fixed angle rotors accepting 2.2 mL centrifuge tubes.
The patented vertical membrane design and thin channel filtration chamber (U.S. Patent No. 5,647,990) minimizes membrane fouling and provides high speed concentrations, even with particle laden solutions.
Spin-X UF 6 for 2 to 6 mL samples
Spin-X UF 6 mL concentrators have been developed to offer increased volume flexibility and performance. Spin-X UF 6 concentrators can process up to 6mL in swing bucket or fixed angle rotors accepting standard 15 mL conical bottom tubes. In a single spin, solutions can be concentrated in excess of 100-fold. Samples are typically concentrated in 10 to 30 minutes with macromolecular recoveries in excess of 95%
The Spin-X UF 6 features twin vertical membranes for unparalleled filtration speeds and 100x plus concentrations. Remaining volume is easy to read off the printed scale on the side of the concentrator and the modified dead stop pocket further simplifies direct pipet recovery of the final concentrate.
Spin-X UF 20 for 5 to 20 mL samples
Spin-X UF 20 ml centrifugal concentrators have been developed to offer increased volume flexibility and performance. Spin-X UF 20 handles up to 20 mL in swing bucket centrifuges and 14 mL in 25° fixed angle rotors accepting 50 mL centrifuge tubes.
Featuring twin vertical membranes for unparalleled filtration speeds the Spin-X UF 20 can achieve 100x plus concentrations. Remaining volume is easy to read off the printed scale on the side of the concentrator and the modified dead stop pocket further simplifies direct pipet recovery of the final concentrate.
