Cell disruption

High sample recovery by ultrafiltration, even in diluted samples, and fast sample processing are offered by Amicon® ultra-centrifugal filters. The centrifugal filters, for fastest and most efficient concentrations, are specially designed for sensitive downstream applications. The Ultracel-10 centrifugal filters have a NMWL (Nominal Molecular Weight Limit) of 10 kDa.

Features & Benefits:

• Prevents rotation to dryness
• Providing a predictable concentration factor
• No calibration necessary if several samples are to be run in parallel
• Vertical membrane, aligned with filtrate
• Less clogging, faster filtration and less waste

• Robust, slim unit that prevents leakage

The Millex® Syringe Filter has been specially manufactured for sterilization or clarification of biological solutions. To increase throughput and flow rate, the filter has a larger filtration surface. This also reduces the pressure required to emtpy the syringe. The filters are provided with a quality certification because they are manufactured under a controlled environment and an automated process.

The nylon-membrane filters are compatible with a wide range of solvents. Its apllication includes particel removal and clarification, solvent filtration and particel analysis.

Features & Benefits

• Autoclavable with filter for sterile filtration
• Hydrophilic

Tubes of 2 ml.

The patented Disruptor Genie^® provides a multi-directional action, which simultaneously agitates and vortexes at high speed, dramatically increasing cell disruption or sample resuspension efficiency.

• Dramatically increased sample disruption efficiency. Ideal for difficult glass bead procedures (Glass beads - please order separately), cell disruption/homogenisation of yeast, bacteria, plant and animal tissues and pellet resuspensions or anything that requires extremely violent, high-speed agitation.
• Patented multi-directional action simultaneously agitates and vortexes at high-speed producing greater yields in less time
• Hands-Free disruption of up to twelve 1.5ml or 2.0ml microtubes with timer from 0 to 15 minutes (Disruptor Genie^® analog), 0 to 99 minutes (Disruptor Genie^® digital) or continuous operation
• Performance comparable to expensive ultrasonic cell disruptors/homogenisers.
• Suitable for use in cold rooms or incubators

Amicon® ultra centrifugal filters promote high sample recovery, even in diluted samples, through ultrafiltration and also provide fast sample processing. Particularly suitable for sensitive downstream applications as the centrifugal filters provide the fastest and most efficient concentration. The Ultracel-30 centrifugal filters have a NMWL (Nominal Molecular Weight Limit) of 30 kDa.

Features & Benefits:

• Prevents turning to dryness
• Provides a predictable concentration factor
• No calibration is necessary to run multiple samples in parallel
• Vertical membrane aligned with filtrate instead of vertical for loss constipation, less waste and faster filtration
• 25 to 80 times the concentration in one step
• Wide chemical compatibility, heat-sealed membrane and compatible with pH 1-9
• Maximum sample recovery as Ultracel® low-bund membrane > 90 % recovery
• Centrifuge your valuable sample with security in a robust, slim unit that prevents leakage

The easy-to-use, small capacity Thermo Scientific Savant DNA 130 is the ideal choice for nucleic acid applications. The high-performance DNA SpeedVac Concentrator offers rapid and efficient concentration, and drying of small-volume DNA/RNA samples.

• Corrosion resistant, PTFE coated chamber provides years of lasting service
• Built-in, oil free vacuum pump provides maintenance-free operation
• Integrated and compact design
• Extremely quiet operation
• Choice of three drying rates.
• Dual digital timers for independent control of heat and run times
• Solvents and Solvent Combinations - DNA 130: PCR buffers (aqueous), Water, Ethanol and water
• DNA concentrator with integrated pump, plexiglass lid and RD36 rotor for 36 microtubes (1.5 & 2.0 ml)

Durapore® PVDF membranes are characterized by high throughput and high flow rate. To maximize recovery and minimize interaction with your sample, the membrane has very low protein binding.

Features & Benefits:

• Can be sterilized by ethylene oxide and gamma irradiation
• Available in different pore sizes

The glass fiber filters are available with and without binder resins and can be sterilized by ethylene oxid, gamma irridation or in the autoclave.

Glass fiber filter with binding resin:

• Superior wet strength
• Qualitative analysis and prefiltration, especially for highly contaminated solutions
• To clarify aqueous solutions
• Type AP15/20/25

S-Pak filters are manufactured from mixed cellulose esters and have been specially optimized for MF methods. Microbiological analysis of water or other liquids.
