Amicon ultra 4 ym 100 centrifuge membrane concentrators
The Amicon Ultra 4 YM-100 centrifuge membrane concentrators are a laboratory equipment designed for sample concentration. The device uses a semipermeable membrane to separate and concentrate specific molecules or macromolecules from a solution through centrifugation.

Purification of Gold Nanoparticles
from free MPEG-gPLL
was accomplished by loading 1 mL of AuNP3s concentrated in Amicon
Ultra 4 YM-100 centrifuge membrane concentrators (EMD-Millipore, Billerica
MA) on top of a step-gradient consisting of 0.2 mL 50% Opti-Prep (60%
Iodixanol solution in saline, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis MO) with the
initial density 1.32 g/mL, followed by 4 mL of 8% solution of Opti-Prep
in 0.03 M Hepes, pH 7.5, and centrifuged in a SW55.1 Ti rotor (Beckman)
at 40 000 rpm (RCF 152 000 g) for 40
min. The bottom 0.4 mL fraction was collected, vortexed, and washed
with 20 mM Hepes, 0.1 M NaCl, pH 8.0 using Amicon Ultra 4 YM-100 centrifuge
membrane concentrators as suggested by the manufacturer. After the
washings, the particles were pooled and lyophilized. The lyophilized
particles were reconstituted in water at 10 mg/mL for further experiments.
Before thermogravimetric analysis, extensively dialyzed and lyophilized
AuNP3 were dried under high vacuum for 3 days. The purity of nanoparticles
was determined using a Superdex 200 size-exclusion HPLC column (GE-Healthcare
Life Sciences) eluted with 0.1 M ammonium acetate buffer, pH 7.0.
About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
