Vivaspin® 15 Turbo Centrifugal Concentrator

Up to 15 ml starting volume
Concentrate up to 150x

Vivaspin Turbo 15 centrifugal devices allow rapid concentration of protein and nanoparticle samples up to 15 ml in volume. They can be used in rotors accepting 50 ml centrifuge tubes. The patented twin vertical PES membrane design minimizes filter fouling while providing the fastest spin times. The built in dead stop pocket provides maximum concentrate recovery in pipette friendly fashion.
