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 30,000 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
- Ultracel® regenerated cellulose membrane with 30 kDa NMWCO delivers retentate recovery of greater than 90%
- Concentrates 500 μL down to 15 μL
- Concentration factor 25x to 30x
- High sample recovery (greater than 90% of dilute starting solution)
- Fast processing time: 10 to 30 minutes
- Reverse spin capability provides consistent recoveries

How to Find a Lot/Batch Number for COA
Lot and Batch Numbers can be found on a product's label following the words 'Lot' or 'Batch'.
Aldrich Products
For a lot number such as TO09019TO, enter it as 09019TO (without the first two letters 'TO').
For a lot number with a filling-code such as 05427ES-021, enter it as 05427ES (without the filling-code '-021').
For a lot number with a filling-code such as STBB0728K9, enter it as STBB0728 without the filling-code 'K9'.
Not Finding What You Are Looking For?
In some cases, a COA may not be available online. If your search was unable to find the COA you can request one.
