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
- Ultracel® regenerated cellulose membrane with 100 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.
Articles
Commercially available protein labeling kits provide researchers with the flexibility to customize their own immunoassay detection panels.
Protein purification is simpler with Amicon Pro. The device delivers consistent sample preparation for more reliable recovery, uncompromised purity and easier data generation.
Filtration methods and membrane filter selection in nanoparticle purification and production.
This page discusses the principles and benefits of using ultrafiltration membranes in protein sample preparation. Possible applications include solvent exchange, protein sample concentration, or sample purification.
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.
