The maximum concentration of ethanol compatible with Microcon® Centrifugal Filter Devices (10k and 30k) is 10%. This concentration should not be exceeded. Short-term exposure to higher concentrations, such as 70% for disinfection, may be utilized, but this is not validated for repeated or prolonged use.

Microcon® Centrifugal Filters simply and efficiently concentrate and desalt solutions of DNA, RNA, protein or other macromolecules, using any centrifuge that can accept 1.5 mL tubes.
Microcon® Centrifugal Filters simply and efficiently concentrate and desalt solutions of any macromolecule, using any centrifuge that can accept 1.5 mL tubes. The low nonspecific binding characteristics of the Ultracel® membrane and the other device components, coupled with its medical-grade o-ring seal, allows the device to accommodate several wash steps with minimal sample loss.

What is the difference between these and amicon filters?
1 answer-
Microcon and Amicon Ultra products are very similar. Both concentrate liquids down to a retentate and a filtrate. Substances bigger than the molecular weight cutoff stay on top of the membrane and are reduced from a larger initial volume to a smaller final volume. Two key differences are: the Microcon can be slightly better to use for substances in lower initial concentrations and when substances are sticky. Higher recovery can occur with Microcon due to the product being physically smaller and thus, less product is lost to the hold up volume of the membrane and plastic sides of the tube.
