EnglishIntroductionAmicon® Ultra-15 10K centrifugal filter devices provide fast ultrafiltration, with the capability for high concentration factors and easy concentrate recovery from dilute and complex sample matrices. Thevertical design and available membrane surface area provide fast sample processing, high sample recovery (typically greater than 90% of dilute starting solution), and the capability for 80-fold concentration. Typical processing time is 15 to 40 minutes. Solute polarization and subsequent fouling of the membrane are minimized by the vertical design, and a physical deadstop in the filter device prevents spinning todryness and potential sample loss. The concentrate is collected from the filter device sample reservoir using a pipettor, while the ultrafiltrate is collected in the provided centrifuge tube. The device can be spun in a swinging-bucket or fixed-angle rotor. Amicon® Ultra-15 10K devices are supplied non-sterile and are for single use only.Intended UseThe Amicon® Ultra-15 product line includes 5 different cutoffs (Molecular Weight Cutoff, MWCO), however, the Amicon® Ultra-15 10K device (10,000 MWCO) is the only device intended for in vitro diagnostic use. It can be used to concentrate serum, urine, cerebrospinal fluid, and other body fluids prior to analysis.

See the “How to Quantify Recoveries” section.Shelf LifeShelf life is 3 years from date of manufacture. Refer to expiration date on package label.Rinsing Before UseThe ultrafiltration membranes in Amicon® Ultra-15 10K devices contain trace amounts of glycerine. If this material interferes with analysis, rinse the device with buffer or Milli-Q® water before use. If interference continues, rinse with 0.1 N NaOH followed by a second spin of buffer or Milli-Q® water. CAUTION: Do not allow the membrane in Amicon® Ultra filter devices to dry out once wet. If you are not using the device immediately after rinsing, leave fluid on the membrane until the device is used. How to Use Amicon® Ultra-15 Centrifugal Filter Devices1. Add up to 15 mL of sample (12 mL if using a fixed-angle rotor) to the Amicon® Ultra filter device.2. Place capped filter device into centrifuge rotor; counterbalance with a similar device.3. When using a swinging-bucket rotor, s pin the device at 4,000 × g maximum for approximately15–40 minutes.When using a fixed-angle rotor, orient the device with the membrane panel facing up and spin at 5,000 × g maximum for approximately 15–40 minutes.NOTE: Refer to Figure 1 and Table 1 for typical spin times.4. To recover the concentrated solute, insert a pipettor into the bottom of the filter device and withdrawthe sample using a side-to-side sweeping motion to ensure total recovery. The ultrafiltrate can be stored in the centrifuge tube.NOTE: For optimal recovery, remove concentrated sample immediately after centrifugation. Desalting or DiafiltrationDesalting, buffer exchange, or diafiltration are important methods for removing salts or solvents in solutions containing biomolecules. The removal of salts or the exchange of buffers can be accomplished in the Amicon® Ultra-15 device by concentrating the sample, then reconstituting the concentrate to the original sample volume with any d esired solvent. The process of “washing out” can be repeated until the concentration of the contaminating microsolute has been sufficiently reduced. See example below.1 mg/mL100 mMNaCl200 μL of75 mg/mLprotein inNaCl200 μL of75 mg/mLprotein inNaClAdd 14.8 mL of10 mM NaClor exchangebufferPerformanceFlow RateFactors affecting flow rate include sample concentration, starting vol u me, chemical nature of solute, relative centrifugal force, centrifuge rotor angle, membrane type, and temperature. Figure 1 and Table 1 can be used to estimate the time required to achieve a given volume of filtrate or concentrate. A typical spin time for a 15 mL sample is approximately 15 to 40 minutes. While most of the sample is filtered in the first 15 to 30 minutes of centrifugation, the lowest concentrate volume (100–150 μL) is reached after spinning for 15 to 40 minutes.Spin conditions: Swinging-bucket rotor (4,000 × g, 15 mL starting volume),or fixed-angle rotor, (5,000 × g, 12 mL starting volume), room temperature.Protein marker used: Cytochrome c, n=6.Table 1. Typical Concentrate Volume vs. Spin TimeSpin conditions: Room temperature.Protein marker used: Cytochrome c, n=6 (mean value of 3 membrane lots).Shaded volumes were used for the calculation of protein recovery in Table 3.Protein Retention and Concentrate RecoveryThe membranes used in Amicon® Ultra devices are characterized by a molecular weight cutoff (MWCO); that is, their ability to retain molecules above a specified molecular weight. Solutes with molecular weights close to the MWCO may be only partially retained. Membrane retention depends on the solute’s molecular size and shape. For most applications, molecular weight is a convenient parameter to use in assessing retention characteristics. For best results, use a membrane with a MWCO at least two times smaller than the molecular weight of the protein solute that one intends to concentrate. Refer to Table 2.Table 2. Typical Retention of Protein MarkersMarker/Concentration MolecularWeightDeviceMWCO% RetentionSwinging-bucket% RetentionFixed-angleSpin Time(min)α-Chymotrypsinogen (1 mg/mL)25,00010K> 95> 9530 Cytochrome c (0.25 mg/mL)12,400> 95> 9530 Vitamin B-12 (0.2 mg/mL)1,350< 5< 530 Spin Conditions: Swinging-bucket rotor (4,000 × g, 15 mL starting volume), or fixed-angle rotor, (5,000 × g,12 mL starting volume), room temperature, n=6 (mean value of 3 membrane lots).Factors that determine sample recovery include the nature of the protein solute relative to the device MWCO chosen, starting concentration, and concentration factor. Table 3 provides typical recoveries for Amicon® Ultra-15 10K device.Table 3. Typical Concentrate RecoveryConcentrate Concentration ConcentrateSpin Conditions: Swinging-bucket rotor (4,000 × g, 15 mL starting volume), or fixed-angle rotor, (5,000 × g,12 mL starting volume), room temperature, n=6 (mean value of 3 membrane lots). The shaded volumes were taken from Table 1.Maximizing Sample RecoveryLow sample recovery in the concentrate may be due to adsorptive losses, over-concentration, or passage of sample through the membrane.●Adsorptive losses depend upon solute concentration, its hydrophobic nature, temperature and timeof contact with filter device surfaces, sample composition, and pH. To minimize losses, removeconcentrated samples immediately after centrifugal spin.●If the starting sample concentration is high, monitor the centrifugation process in order to avoid over-concentration of the sample. Over-concentration can lead to precipitation and potential sample loss.●If the sample appears to be passing through the membrane, choose a lower MWCO Amicon® Ultra-15device.How to Quantify RecoveriesCalculate total recovery, percent concentrate recovery, and percent filtrate recovery using the method below. The procedure provides a close approximation of recoveries for solutions having concentrations up to roughly 20 mg/mL.NOTE: Appropriate assay techniques include absorption spectrophotometry, radioimmunoassay, refractive index, and conductivity.Direct Weighing ProcedureThe density of most dilute proteins is nearly equal to the density of water (i.e., 1 g/mL). Using this property, the concentrate and filtrate volumes can be quantified by weighing them and converting the units from grams to milliliters. This technique is valid only for solutions with concentrations of approximately20 mg/mL or less.1. Before use, separately weigh the empty filter device, the centrifuge tube, and an empty tube forconcentrate collection.2. Fill filter device with solution and reweigh.3. Assemble device and centrifuge per instructions.4. Collect the concentrate with a pipettor and dispense it into the preweighed concentrate collection tube.5. Remove the device from the centrifuge tube and weigh the centrifuge tube and concentrate collectiontube.6. Subtract weight of empty device/tubes to calculate weights of starting material, filtrate, andconcentrate.7. Assay the starting material, filtrate, and concentrate to determine solute concentration.8. Calculate recoveries using the weight/volume data and the measured concentrations as follows:% concentrate recovery = 100 × W c × C c W o × C o% filtrate recovery = 100 × W f × C f W o × C o% total recovery = % concentrate recovery + % filtrate recoveryW c = total weight of concentrate before assayW o = weight of original starting materialW f= weight of filtrateC c= concentrate concentrationC o= original starting material concentrationC f= filtrate concentrationSpecificationsMaximum initial sample volumeSwinging-bucket15.0 mLFixed-angle rotor12.0 mLTypical final concentrate volume 150–300 μLMaximum relative centrifugal forceSwinging-bucket rotor4,000 × gFixed-angle rotor5,000 × gActive membrane area7.6 cm2DimensionsFilter device in tube (capped)Length: 119 mm (4.7 in.)Diameter: 33.5 mm (1.3 in.)

Amicon Ultra-15 Centrifugal Filter Devices

English IntroductionAmicon® Ultra-15 centrifugal filter devices provide fast ultrafiltration, with the capability for high concentration factors and easy concentrate recovery from dilute and complex sample matrices. Thevertical design and available membrane surface area provide fast sample processing, high sample recovery (typically greater than 90% of dilute starting solution), and the capability for 80-fold concentration.Typical processing time is 15 to 60 minutes depending on Nominal Molecular Weight Limit (NMWL). Solute polarization and subsequent fouling of the membrane are minimized by the vertical design, and a physical deadstop in the filter device prevents spinning to dryness and potential sample loss. The concentrate is collected from the filter device sample reservoir using a pipettor, while the ultrafiltrate is collected in the provided centrifuge tube. The device can be spun in a swinging bucket or fixed angle rotor. Amicon® Ultra-15 devices are supplied non-sterile and are for single use only.The Amicon® Ultra-15 product line includes 5 different cutoffs (Nominal Molecular Weight Limit, NMWL, or Molecular Weight Cutoff, MWCO):●Amicon® Ultra 3K device — 3,000 NMWL ●Amicon® Ultra 10K device — 10,000 NMWL ●Amicon® Ultra 30K device — 30,000 NMWL ●Amicon® Ultra 50K device — 50,000 NMWL ●Amicon® Ultra 100K device — 100,000 NMWLAmicon® Ultra-15 10K filter devices are for in vitro diagnostic use and can be used to concentrate serum, urine, cerebrospinal fluid, and other body fluids prior to analysis.Amicon® Ultra-15 3K, 30K, 50K, and 100K filter devices are for research use only and not for use in diagnostic procedures.User GuideAmicon ® Ultra-15Centrifugal Filter Devicesfor volumes up to 15 mLAmicon® Ultra-15 10K device for in vitro diagnostic use Amicon® Ultra-15 3K, 30K, 50K, and 100K devices forresearch use only; not for use in diagnostic proceduresMaterials SuppliedThe Amicon® Ultra-15 device is supplied with a cap, a filter device, and a centrifuge tube.Applications●Concentration of biological samples containing antigens, antibodies, enzymes, nucleic acids (DNA/RNA samples, either single- or double-stranded), microorganisms, column eluates, and purified samples ●Purification of macromolecular components found in tissue culture extracts and cell lysates, removal of primer, linkers, or molecular labels from a reaction mix, and protein removal prior to HPLC ●Desalting, buffer exchange, or diafiltrationRequired Equipment●Centrifuge with swinging bucket or fixed angle rotor with wells/carriers that can accommodate50 mL tubes CAUTION : To avoid damage to the device during centrifugation, check clearance before spinning. ●Pipettor with 200 microliter (μL) tip for concentrate recoverySuitabilityPreliminary recovery and retention studies are suggested to ensure suitability for intended use. See the “How to Quantify Recoveries” section.Device Storage and Shelf LifeStore at 15–30 °C. Shelf life is 3 years from date of manufacture. For cat. nos. UFC901008, UFC901024, and UFC901096, refer to expiration date on package label.PrerinsingThe ultrafiltration membranes in Amicon® Ultra-15 devices contain trace amounts of glycerine. If this material interferes with analysis, prerinse the device with buffer or Milli-Q® water. If interference continues, rinse with 0.1 N NaOH followed by a second spin of buffer or Milli-Q® water. CAUTION: Do not allow the membrane in Amicon® Ultra filter devices to dry out once wet. If you are not using the device immediately after prerinsing, leave fluid on the membrane until the device isused.How to Use Amicon® Ultra-15 Centrifugal Filter Devices1. Add up to 15 mL of sample (12 mL if using a fixed angle rotor) to the Amicon® Ultra filter device.2. Place capped filter device into centrifuge rotor; counterbalance with a similar device.3. When using a swinging bucket rotor, spin the device at 4,000 × g maximum for approximately15–60 minutes.When using a fixed angle rotor, orient the device with the membrane panel facing up and spin at 5,000 × g maximum for approximately 15–60 minutes.NOTE: Refer to Figures 1 and 2, and Tables 1 and 2 for typical spin times.4. To recover the concentrated solute, insert a pipettor into the bottom of the filter device and withdrawthe sample using a side-to-side sweeping motion to ensure total recovery. The ultrafiltrate can be stored in the centrifuge tube.NOTE: For optimal recovery, remove concentrated sample immediately after centrifugation. Desalting or DiafiltrationDesalting, buffer exchange, or diafiltration are important methods for removing salts or solvents in solutions containing biomolecules. The removal of salts or the exchange of buffers can be accomplished in the Amicon® Ultra-15 device by concentrating the sample, then reconstituting the concentrate to the original sample volume with any d esired solvent. The process of “washing out” can be repeated until the concentration of the contaminating microsolute has been sufficiently reduced. See example below.1 mg/mL100 mMNaCl200 μL of75 mg/mLprotein inNaCl200 μL of75 mg/mLprotein inNaClAdd 14.8 mL of10 mM NaClor exchangebufferSpin conditions: 4,000 × g, room temperature, 15 mL starting volume.Protein markers used: Cytochrome c for 3K and 10K, BSA for 30K and 50K, and IgG for 100K, n=6.Spin conditions: 5,000 × g, room temperature, 12 mL starting volume.Protein markers used: Cytochrome c for 3K and 10K, BSA for 30K and 50K, and IgG for 100K, n=6.PerformanceFlow RateFactors affecting flow rate include sample concentration, starting vol u me, chemical nature of solute, relative centrifugal force, centrifuge rotor angle, membrane type, and temperature. Figures 1 and 2, and Tables 1 and 2 can be used to estimate the time required to achieve a given volume of filtrate orconcentrate for a variety of protein markers. A typical spin time for a 15 mL sample is approximately 15 to 60 minutes (depending on device nominal molecular weight limit). While most of the sample is filtered in the first 15 to 30 minutes of centrifugation, the lowest concentrate volume (150–300 μL) is reached after spinning for 15 to 60 minutes.Flowrate, continuedTable 1. Typical Concentrate Volume vs. Spin Time (Swinging bucket rotor)Spin conditions: 4,000 × g, room temperature, 15 mL starting volume. Protein markers used: Cytochrome cfor 3K and 10K, BSA for 30K and 50K, and IgG for 100K, n=6 (mean value of 3 membrane lots). Shaded volumes were used for the calculation of protein recovery in Table 4.Table 2. Typical Concentrate Volume vs. Spin Time (Fixed angle rotor)Spin conditions: 5,000 × g, room temperature, 12 mL starting volume. Protein markers used: Cytochrome cfor 3K and 10K, BSA for 30K and 50K, and IgG for 100K, n=6 (mean value of 3 membrane lots). Shaded volumes were used for the calculation of protein recovery in Table 4.Protein Retention and Concentrate RecoveryThe membranes used in Amicon® Ultra devices are characterized by a nominal molecular weight limit (NMWL); that is, their ability to retain molecules above a specified molecular weight. Solutes with molecular weights close to the NMWL may be only partially retained. Membrane retention depends on the solute’s molecular size and shape. For most applications, molecular weight is a convenient parameter to use in assessing retention characteristics. Merck Millipore Ltd. recommends using a membrane with a NMWL at least two times smaller than the molecular weight of the protein solute that one intends to concentrate. Refer to Table 3.Table 3. Typical Retention of Protein Markers Spin Conditions for Tables 3 and 4: Swinging bucket rotor (4,000 × g, 15 mL starting volume), or fixed angle rotor,(5,000 × g, 12 mL starting volume), room temperature, n=6 (mean value of 3 membrane lots).Protein Retention and Concentrate Recovery, continuedFactors that determine sample recovery include the nature of the protein solute relative to the device NMWL chosen, starting concentration, and concentration factor. Table 4 provides typical recoveries forAmicon® Ultra-15 devices.Table 4. Typical Concentrate Recovery Concentrate Concentration Concentrate Shaded volumes were taken from Tables 1 and 2.How to Quantify RecoveriesCalculate total recovery, percent concentrate recovery, and percent filtrate recovery using the method below. The procedure provides a close approximation of recoveries for solutions having concentrations up to roughly 20 mg/mL.NOTE : Appropriate assay techniques include absorption spectrophotometry, radioimmunoassay, refractiveindex, and conductivity.Direct Weighing ProcedureThe density of most dilute proteins is nearly equal to the density of water (i.e., 1 g/mL). Using this property, the concentrate and filtrate volumes can be quantified by weighing them and converting the units from grams to milliliters. This technique is valid only for solutions with concentrations of approximately 20 mg/mL or less.1. Before use, separately weigh the empty filter device, the centrifuge tube, and an empty tube forconcentrate collection.2. Fill filter device with solution and reweigh.3. Assemble device and centrifuge per instructions.4. Collect the concentrate with a pipettor and dispense it into the preweighed concentrate collectiontube.5. Remove the device from the centrifuge tube and weigh the centrifuge tube and concentrate collectiontube.6. Subtract weight of empty device/tubes to calculate weights of starting material, filtrate, andconcentrate.7. Assay the starting material, filtrate, and concentrate to determine solute concentration.8. Calculate recoveries using the weight/volume data and the measured concentrations as follows:Maximizing Sample RecoveryLow sample recovery in the concentrate may be due to adsorptive losses, over-concentration, or passage of sample through the membrane.●Adsorptive losses depend upon solute concentration, its hydrophobic nature, temperature and timeof contact with filter device surfaces, sample composition, and pH. To minimize losses, remove concentrated samples immediately after centrifugal spin.●If starting sample concentration is high, monitor the centrifugation process in order to avoid over-concentration of the sample. Over-concentration can lead to precipitation and potential sample loss. ●If the sample appears to be passing through the membrane, choose a lower NMWL Amicon® Ultra-15device.Direct Weighing Procedure, continued% concentrate recovery = 100 × % filtrate recovery = 100 × % total recovery = % concentrate recovery + % filtrate recovery W c = total weight of concentrate before assay W o = weight of original starting material W f = weight of filtrate C c = concentrate concentrationC o = original starting material concentration C f = filtrate concentrationW c × C c W o × C oW f × C fW o × C oSpecificationsMaximum initial sample volumeSwinging bucket 15.0 mL Fixed angle rotor 12.0 mL Typical final concentrate volume 150–300 μL Maximum relative centrifugal forceSwinging bucket rotor 4,000 × g Fixed angle rotor 5,000 × g Active membrane area 7.6 cm 2DimensionsFilter device in tube (capped)Length: 122 mm (4.8 in.)Diameter: 29.7 mm (1.2 in.)Filter deviceLength: 72.0 mm (2.8 in.)Diameter: 29.6 mm (1.2 in.)Materials of ConstructionFilter device Copolymer styrene/butadiene Membrane Ultracel® low binding regenerated cellulose Filtrate tube Polypropylene Filtrate cap and liner PolyethyleneChemical CompatibilityAmicon® Ultra centrifugal devices are intended for use with biological fluids and aqueous solutions.

Amicon Pro Affinity Concentration Kit - GST 产品说明书

Amicon® Pro AffinityConcentration Kit - GSTPurification of GST-tagged recombinant proteins.Catalog Nos. ACR5000GS, ACK5003GS, ACK5010GS, ACK5030GS,ACK5050GS, ACK5100GSFOR RESEARCH USE ONLYNot for use in diagnostic procedures.USA & Canada Phone: +1(800) 437-7500 Fax: +1 (951) 676-9209Australia +61 3 9839 2000IntroductionThe expression and purification of recombinant proteins is central to protein regulation, structure and function studies. Purification has been greatly facilitated by the addition of small affinity tags to protein sequences such as the glutathione S-transferase domain (GST). GST agarose resin is an affinity chromatography matrix, when used in concert with the Amicon®Pro Affinity Concentration device, offers rapid purification of GST fusion proteins, native GST, or glutathione-binding proteins. GST-tagged proteins bind specifically to reduced glutathione in near-neutral, non-denaturing conditions (e.g., phosphate buffer). Following resin capture of the target protein, unbound lysate components are removed by spin-based clearing and washing steps. Bound protein is recovered by centrifugation following competitive displacement with buffer containing free, reduced glutathione.By condensing the entire purification workflow into one device, the Amicon® Pro device eliminates the need for multiple sample transfers thereby minimizing protein loss. The large exchange device reservoir (up to 9ml) accommodates a range of sample capacities as well as reduces the need for multiple spin steps during the wash and elution phases. Direct coupling to an Amicon® Ultra-0.5 device further provides simultaneous concentration during the elution phase. Lastly, the Amicon® Pro device offers highly efficient diafiltration in a single 15 minute spin.The kit contains sufficient GST resin, optimized buffers, and Amicon® Pro devices for 12 standard reactions.Sample Preparation GuidelinesOptimizing lysis parameters is critical for protein extraction and downstream purification. The Amicon®Pro Affinity Concentration GST kit is compatible with a range of conditions, including reducing agents (β-mercaptoethanol, DTT), chelating agents (EDTA), non-ionic detergents, and BugBuster®Protein Extraction Reagent (Cat. No. 70584), a proprietary mixture of non-ionic detergents offering a rapid cost-effective alternative to mechanical cell lysis methods such as sonication.Irrespective of extraction method, we recommend inclusion of rLysozyme™ Solution (Cat. No.71110) and Benzonase®Nuclease (Cat. No. 70746) and during protein extraction for increased cell lysis (protein yield) and a reduction in sample viscosity (improved sample handling), respectively.Protease inhibitors may also be added to the lysis buffers to protect against degradative enzymes.A listing of individual protease inhibitors and cocktails is available at /search on key words “Protease Inhibitor.” Note: Serine proteases should be used with caution if the GST fusion tag is to be cleaved via Thrombin or Factor Xa digestion. If used during protein extraction, we strongly recommend the eluted fraction be buffer exchanged prior to performing the cleavage reaction.In certain systems, high protein expression can lead to aggregation in the form of inclusion bodies.Strong denaturants such as 6 M guanidine or 8 M urea can be used to solubilize aggregates greatly enhancing yield. However, only properly folded, functional GST is capable of binding GST resin. GST fractions recovered from denaturation of inclusion bodies must be refolded to reconstitute active GST fusion constructs. To a degree, this can be accomplished through use of the Protein Refolding Kit (Cat. No. 70123).Cat. No. BWEGSFor more information, consult the GST•Bind™ Resin User Guide available at /chemicals. Search using the Cat. No. 70541.Kit ComponentsCS211421-GST Resin (3 mL) – Crosslinked agarose with immobilized reduced glutathione supplied as 50% slurry in 50 mM Phosphate Buffer pH 7.5, 0.15 M NaCl, 0.1% NaN3. The resin utilizes an 11-atom spacer arm (~16 Å) for covalent attachment of reduced glutathione via a sulfide linkage. The binding capacity is typically 5-8 mg/mL of settled resin.Buffers:o CS211416-10X GST Bind/Wash Buffer (25 mL) – 43 mM Na2HPO4, 14.7 mM KH2PO4,1.37 M NaCl, 27 mM KCl pH7.2o CS211354-10X Glutathione Reconstitution buffer (5 mL) – 500 mM Tris, pH 8.0o CS211418-Glutathione, reduced, free acid (125 mg)Amicon®Pro Devices – The kit includes 12 complete assemblies. Each device consists of an exchange device, holder tube, 50 mL collection tube, and Amicon®Ultra-0.5 centrifugal filter device. A 2 mL collection tube is included for sample recovery from the AU-0.5 device by reverse spin. The kit is available in five formats based on the nominal molecular weight limit (NMWL) of the AU-0.5: 3 (ACK5003GS), 10 (ACK5010GS), 30 (ACK5030GS), 50 (ACK5050GS), and 100 kDa (ACK5100GS). Consult the Amicon®Pro (/psp, search keywords “Amicon Pro”) and Amicon®Ultra-0.5 centrifugal filter device User Guides (/catalogue/module/c82301) for proper assembly/disassembly and additional product information.All reagents should be stored at 2° to 8°C (do not freeze). The Amicon Pro devices can be stored separately at room temperature.Procedures for using the Amicon® Pro Affinity Concentration Kit - GSTThe protocol is based on purification of GST-tagged protein from 1 mL of E. coli lysate using 200 µl of GST resin slurry (100 µL packed resin). The protocol is linearly scalable for 50-1000 µL of resin slurry. Due to large variability among sample preps, parameters which may require optimization include bead input, binding time, wash, and elution parameters. This protocol includes steps for simultaneous concentration during the elution step as well as buffer exchange using the Amicon®Ultra-0.5 centrifugal filter device.Note: Given the collection tube’s capacity, it is not necessary to remove filtrate between the various centrifugation steps. However, if process samples need be retained for analytical purposes, the collection tube should be cleared.Buffer Preparation10X Bind/Wash Buffer should be diluted to 1X with sterile deionized H2O; 1X Bind/Wash solution may be stored at 4°C for 1 week.Prepare 10X GST Elution Buffer containing 100 mM reduced glutathione as follows: add 4ml 10X Reconstitution buffer directly to the glutathione powder vial. Pipette repeatedly then incubate for30 minutes at room temperature. Divide buffer into working volumes and store at -20o C (400Cat. No. BWEGSµl/standard reaction); 10X GST Elution Buffer is stable for 6 months at -20o C. We do not recommend repeated freeze/thaw cycles. To minimize glutathione oxidation, dilute 10X buffer to 1X using sterile deionized water and pH to 8.0 immediately before use. Discard any unused 1X Elution Buffer.Bead Preparation1. To ensure uniform suspension, vortex the GST resin thoroughly before adding it to the device.2. Remove the collection tube cap and open the exchange device cap.3. Add 200 µL of resin slurry to the base of the exchange device. Close the exchange cap.Up to 500 µl packed resin (1000 µl slurry volume) may be added per device We recommend using wide-bore tips (Cat. No. 02-707-134, Fisher Scientific) for resin transfer.4. To remove storage buffer, centrifuge in a swinging bucket rotor at 1000 g X 1 min.5. Add 500 µL of 1X Bind Buffer. Centrifuge at 1000 g X 1 min.Protein Binding1. Add 500 µL of sample to the exchange device.Up to 9 mL of sample can be added. The volume loaded is determined by the target protein’s expression level and resin’s binding capacity.2. Incubate for 60 min at room temp with gentle agitation.We recommend upright agitation on a plate shaker at low setting.End-over-end mixing, particularly with small volumes or for extended time, may result in substantial bead loss to the sides of the feeder tube.The duration of binding time may vary with application.3. Centrifuge the device at 1000 g X 1 min in a swinging bucket rotor. Recover the sample flow-through from the 50 mL collection tube (optional).To ensure maximal protein capture, collect all resin into solution prior to centrifugation.4. Add1.5 mL of Wash Buffer. Centrifuge at 1000 g X 1 min. Recover the wash fraction from the 50mL collection tube (optional).Due to the large capacity of the exchange device, the volume of the wash can be increased for greater sample purity. There is no need for multiple wash steps.Sample ElutionSamples can be eluted without concentration by adding elution buffer and centrifuging (1000g X 2 minute) directly into a clean 50 ml collection tube. Given the limited volume processing capacity of the AU-0.5 device, we recommend this protocol if elution volumes > 1.5 ml are required.For simultaneous elution with concentration, attach the Amicon® Ultra-0.5 device and follow the steps outlined below.1. Remove the exchange device and insert it into the AU0.5 device.2. Place the exchange device/AU-0.5 assembly back in the holder and return the device to thecollection tube.3. Add up to 1.5 mL of Elution Buffer, gently resuspend the resin, and incubate for 5 min.Under standard conditions, one elution is sufficient for recovery of 90-95% of captured protein.4. Close the exchange device cap and screw on the collection tube cap to ensure a proper seal.5. Centrifuge at 4000 g X 15 min in a swinging bucket rotor. Concentrated samples can be bufferexchanged or recovered from the AU-0.5 device by reverse spin (see below).Cat. No. BWEGSDepending on the starting elution volume, NMWL of AU0.5 device employed, and the degree of concentration desired, the length of the spin time can range for 10-30 minutes. Please consult the Performance Characteristics section in the Amicon®Pro Affinity Concentration System User Guide (/psp, and search keywords "Amicon Pro”) for recommended guidelines., consult.6. Recover the concentrated fraction by reverse spin or proceed to Buffer Exchange (see below).Buffer Exchange (Optional if samples have been collected in the Amicon® Ultra-0.5 device)1. After sample concentration, add 1.5ml desired buffer to the exchange device/AU-0.5 assembly.2. Centrifuge device at 4000g X 15 minutes in a swinging bucket rotor. Concentrated samples canbe recovered from the AU-0.5 device by reverse spin (see below).Collect sample from the AU0.5 device by Reverse Spin(following Concentration or Buffer Exchange)1. Disassemble the exchange device/AU-0.5 assembly from the holder tube.2. Using a gentle twisting motion, detach the AU-0.5 from the exchange device.3. If there is residual sample in the exchange device tip, depress the exchange device cap to expelthe remaining sample volume into the AU-0.5.4. Hold AU-0.5 upright and slide the 2 ml collection tube on top of it.5. Invert the assembly and centrifuge (in a microcentrifuge) with a fixed angle rotor 1000g X 2min.Sample protein yield can be determined by Mid IR-based spectrometry using the DirectDetect™ biomolecular quantitation system and DirectDetect™ Assay Free Sample Cards.TroubleshootingCat.

Add solubilizing agents such as detergents (0.1% Triton® X-100, TWEEN®-20) or increase salt concentration.pH of the Lysis or Binding buffers is incorrect. Check buffer pH; the acceptable range is 7-8. Acidic bufferswill prevent binding.Protein expression is insufficient. Optimize the growth/induction conditions.Cell Lysis is incomplete. Optimize the Cell Lysis Protocol.Cell Lysate is too viscous. If possible, dilute the lysate in Bind Buffer. Alternatively,include Benzonase® Nuclease during lysis to remove freeRNA/DNA.Protein precipitates during sample concentration while using the AU0.5 device due to over-concentration. Reduce the duration of the centrifugation time during the elution/concentration step.Protein is lost during sample concentration while using AU0.5 device.

Introduction
Millipore’s Amicon® Ultra-4 centrifugal filter devices provide fast ultrafiltration, with the capability for high concentration factors and easy concentrate recovery from dilute and complex sample matrices. The vertical design and available membrane surface area provide fast sample processing, high sample recovery (typically greater than 90% of dilute starting solution), and the capability for 80-fold concentration. Typical processing time is 10 to 40 minutes depending on Nominal Molecular Weight Limit (NMWL). Solute polarization and subsequent fouling of the membrane are minimized by the vertical design, and a physical deadstop in the filter device prevents spinning to dryness and potential sample loss. The concentrate is collected from the filter device sample reservoir using a pipettor, while the ultrafiltrate is collected in the provided centrifuge tube. The device can be spun in a swinging bucket (for optimal performance) or fixed angle rotor. Amicon Ultra-4 devices are supplied non-sterile and are for single use only.
