Concentrating Proteins with 4 mL Concentrators:
1 Fill concentrator with sample within the working volume
capacity range noted in the table above (ensure that the hinged
lid is fully seated).

2 Insert assembled concentrator into centrifuge (when fixed
angle rotors are used, angle the concentrators so that the
printed windows face upwards/outwards).

Desalting/Buffer Exchange
1 Concentrate sample to desired level or at least
5
´.
2 Empty filtrate container.
3 Refill concentrator with an appropriate buffer.
4 Concentrate the sample again and repeat the
process until the concentration of the
contaminating species is sufficiently reduced.
