Traditional protein purification is a long process with many steps and multiple devices. Avoid the risks associated with sample transfer and reduce hands-on time when you bind, wash, elute and/or concentrate your protein in the all-in-one Amicon® Pro purification system. The device combines affinity-based spin column purification with downstream sample concentration and buffer exchange. Featuring a large reservoir that accommodates a range of sample volumes, the device reduces the need for multiple centrifugation steps. Simply attach the included Amicon® Ultra filter for simultaneous elution, concentration and highly efficient buffer exchange (>99%) in a single spin.

Because of the extremely flexible, modular design of the Amicon® Pro system, you can configure the perfect device for your protein preparation.

1 The assay capacity is dictated by the processing limitations of the Amicon® Ultra 0.5 mL device.
2 The Bind-Wash-Elute protocol is linearly scalable (50-1000 µL). Higher resin volumes require greater centrifugation speeds and duration to ensure filtrate clearance.
3 Capacity depends on diafiltration centrifugation protocol. For example, the antibody labeling protocol is limited to 1.5 mL reaction volumes; this is the maximum volume that the Amicon® Ultra 0.5 mL filter can process in a 15 minute spin.
