Vivaspin® 6 Centrifugal Concentrator

Up to 6 ml starting volume
Concentrate up to 200x

Vivaspin 6 centrifugal devices allow rapid concentration of protein and nanoparticle samples up to 6 ml in volume. They can be used in rotors accepting 15 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.
