Description

General description

Microcon^® centrifugal filters provide efficient concentration, desalting, or buffer exchange of aqueous biological samples ranging in volume from 10–500 μL. The Microcon^® DNA fast flow filter is optimized for the concentration and recovery of genomic DNA with SDS buffer.

Application

Microcon DNA Fast Flow Centrifugal Filter Unit with Ultracel membrane has been used to extract regular organic DNA to compare DNA yields from alternative extraction methods. It has also been used to filter the digested DNA for electron microscopic analysis of genomic DNA.

Features and Benefits

Microcon^® centrifugal filters have several benefits:

• high recovery for small volumes with reverse spin
• low-binding Ultracel^® membrane
• fast processing
• yield concentration factors <20X for consistent reproducibility
