FAQ

QuestionAnswer
Can I use Centrifree with a swinging-bucket rotor?Yes, but the filtration rate will be only 30-50% of that produced with a fixed-angle rotor at the same g-force.
What are the pore and retention characteristics of the YMT 30,000 molecular weight cut-off membrane for Centrifree micropartition device?The actual pore size is not measured. The membrane is characterized by measuring its retention of known protein markers of specific molecular weights. The given cut-off is a nominal measurement.
Does Centrifree have a shelf life?Yes, one year.
What is the maximum spinning speed of the Centrifree unit?Device limits are measured in g-force, not rpm. The maximum recommended g-force is 2000 × g.
How much ultrafiltrate can I expect when using the Centrifree?For volumes less than 0.5 ml: For a sample volume of 1.0 ml: In 10 minutes: I 1/2 the initial volume approximately 200 µl In 30 minutes: 2/3 to 3/4 the initial volume approximately 450 µl
What is the maximum process volume for the Centrifree device?Maximum volume is 1.0 ml.
What molecular weight cut-off does the Centrifree come in?The Centrifree unit is available in a 30,000 MW cut-off.
Can I reuse Centrifree?No, Centrifree is intended for one-time use only. Multiple use risks membrane failure.
What is the minimum process volume for the Centrifree device?Minimum volume is 0.15 ml.
What temperatures can Centrifree be spun at?Spin devices at 4-50°C. Store at room temperature.
