Vivacon 500
Reproducible DNA sample desalting and concentration
Vivacon 500 centrifugal concentrators offer the optimal solution for DNA concentration and buffer exchange applications. For optimal performance with very dilute samples, e. g. forensic samples, Vivacon 500 is equipped with the patented regenerated cellulose membrane Hydrosart®. High recoveries and excellent reproducibilities are paired with convenience offered by volume graduation and molecular weight cut-off printed on individual devices.
Vivacon 500 can be used as well for concentration and buffer exchange of protein samples.
Vivacon 500 Applications
- DNA rebuffering of organic extraction samples before sequencing reaction
- Dye removal after sequencing reaction
- Primer removal
- Plasmid concentration
- Protein concentration
- Protein rebuffering
For larger volumes up to 2 ml Vivacon 2 with identical features is available.
