FAQ
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Is the Ultracel YM membrane autoclavable? | Yes, the Ultracel YM membrane can be autoclaved, submerged in water, at 121 degrees C. |
| Which UF membrane do I want, Biomax or Ultracel? | Biomax is recommended for applications where very harsh pH conditions are required for processing or cleaning. Ultracel is recommended where harsh pH conditions are not needed and especially when protein loading is low (<20-g/m sq.) or the feedstock is highly fouling. Biomax is currently the premier UF membrane being used in Life Science applications, primarily due to its combination of low protein binding (i.e., high yield) and speed. Ultracel, Millipore’s new composite regenerated cellulose offering, is the lowest protein binding UF membrane available, making it ideal for dilute protein solutions where binding may be a significant factor in yield. For important applications, such as pilot trials prior to scale-up, it is recommended to conduct a trial with several pore sizes from each membrane family in order to determine which best meets the application criteria. |
| When doing diafiltration, how many initial volumes would it take to remove the salt? | It takes three initial volumes to remove 95% of the salt and five initial volumes to remove 99.9% of the salt. |
| What molecular weight cut-off should I select for proteins of different sizes? | As a rule, when using Ultracel membranes it is best to select a membrane 2-3 times smaller than the solute to be retained by the membrane. In the case of the Biomax membranes 4-5 times smaller than the NMWL is suggested. For more information on choosing the appropriate membrane cutt off: http://www.millipore.com/publications.nsf/docs/RF036 |
| What is the best way to store disc membranes? | Solutions of 10% ethanol in water or 0.1% azide in water will preserve the membrane. For long-term storage, refrigeration is recommended. |
| What is the pH range for YM membrane? | The pH range is 3-13. |
| My recovery is low. Why? | 1. What concentration are you using? a. If it is protein and <10ug/ml, the protein may be binding to the plastic (not the membrane). We suggest passivation (See passivation protocol). b. If it is DNA and >100ug/ml, most likely the DNA is precipitating out. There is no solution except use less DNA. 2. Are you using a detergent? a. If yes, and it is greater than the critical micelle concentration, it will not pass through the membrane pores. Suggest diluting out the sample (See detergent study). |
| What is the temperature limit for the Ultracel YM membrane? | The temperature limit for the Ultracel YM membrane is 121 degrees C. |
| What is the temperature limit for the Biomax membrane? | The temperature limit for the Biomax membrane is 50 degrees C. |
| What is the average thickness of the Ultracel YM membrane? | The average thichness of the Ultracel YM membrane is 8 mil. |
