Concentrating Proteins with 4 mL Concentrators:
Desalting/Buffer Exchange
1
2
3
Fill concentrator with sample within the working volume
capacity range noted in the table above (ensure that the hinged
lid is fully seated).
1
Concentrate sample to desired level or at least
5P.
2
3
4
Empty filtrate container.
Insert assembled concentrator into centrifuge (when fixed
angle rotors are used, angle the concentrators so that the
printed windows face upwards/outwards).
Centrifuge at recommended speeds, taking care not to exceed
the maximum g force indicated in the table above (20 minutes
at 7,500 g is recommended for 30P concentration of 4 mL at
10LC).
Refill concentrator with an appropriate buffer.
Concentrate the sample again and repeat the
process until the concentration of the
contaminating species is sufficiently reduced.
Typically three wash cycles will remove 99% of
initial salt content.
4
Once the desired concentration is achieved, remove assembly
and recover sample from the bottom of the concentrate pocket
with a pipette.
