Vivacon 2

Vivacon® 2

Reproducible DNA sample desalting and concentration

Vivacon® 2 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® 2 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.

The possibility of a re-spin after sample processing assures complete concentrate recovery which is especially important when working with low sample concentrations.

Vivacon® 2 Applications

  • DNA rebuffering of organic extraction samples before sequencing reaction.
  • Dye removal after sequencing reaction.
  • Primer removal.
  • Plasmid concentration.
