Ultracel 3k centrifugal filter

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in Ireland

Ultracel®-3K centrifugal filters are a type of laboratory equipment used for sample preparation and purification. These filters feature a molecular weight cut-off of 3,000 Daltons, allowing for the efficient separation and concentration of molecules based on their size. The core function of Ultracel®-3K centrifugal filters is to facilitate the rapid and precise filtration and concentration of biological samples, such as proteins, peptides, and other macromolecules.

5 protocols using ultracel 3k centrifugal filter

Radiolabeling of Affibody Molecules

Five mg of lyophilized PEP04314 (0.71 µmol, Affibody AB, Solna, Sweden) was added to 0.5 mL of 0.2 M ammonium acetate buffer (pH 7.5), and the solution was added to a reaction vial containing 0.4 mg (0.72 µmol) of (±)-H3RESCA-maleimide or maleimide-mono-amide-NOTA (Macrocyclics, Plano, Tx, USA). The reaction mixture was kept at room temperature for 90 min before being transferred to an ultracel 3K centrifugal filter (Merck) containing 3 mL of 0.1 M ammonium acetate buffer (pH 4) and centrifuged at 4000 rpm for 90 min. The flow-through was discarded, and 4 mL of fresh 0.1 M ammonium acetate buffer (pH 4) was added. The filter was then centrifuged again for 90 min, and the flow-through was discarded. Purified (±)-H3RESCA-PEP04314 or H2NOTA-PEP04314 was collected via reverse spin in 1 mL of 0.1 M ammonium acetate buffer (pH 4.5), and stored at -70 °C in 100 µL aliquots prior to use. Purity of the final product was determined via a Waters Acquity LC/MS system equipped with a Waters Xselect CSH C18 column (250 mm ×10 mm, 130 Å) at a flow rate of 5 mL/min using a gradient of EtOH (10-40% over 15 min) and 0.1% formic acid.

Fractionation of Low and High Molecular Weight Polyphenol Extracts

PPE (500 μL) was applied to an Ultracel-3K centrifugal filter device (Merck Millipore) and centrifuged at 16,100×g at 4 °C for 60 min. The filtrates were used as a LMW fraction of PPE. To recover the residues on the filter, the filter devices were placed upside down in a new centrifuge tube and centrifuged at 1000×g at 4 °C for 5 min. The residues were reconstituted with 500 μL of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and used as a HMW fraction of PPE.

Deglycosylation of Thermostable Lectin

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
TLA was heat-inactivated by incubation for 15 min at 95°C (hiTLA) and deglycosylation (dgTLA) was performed by sodium metaperiodate treatment according to a modified protocol (36 (link)). Briefly, 3 mg TLA (1 mg/ml in PBS) were mixed with 3 ml 100 mM sodium metaperiodate in 100 mM acetate buffer, at pH = 4.5. TLA was incubated at 37°C for 30 min in the dark. The oxidation reaction was stopped with 300 ml 0.5 x PBS. The volume was then reduced to 5 ml by centrifugation at 2,900 x g at 4°C using Ultracel®-3K centrifugal filters (Amicon® Ultra-15; Merck Millipore). Volume was further decreased with a Vacuum Concentrator Centrifuge (Univapo 150H; Uniequip). The protein concentration was assessed as above and modification of glycan moieties was verified with a Western blot using biotinylated Concanavalin A (ConA) as described below.

For protein detection cells supernatant was collected and concentrated with Ultracel®-3K centrifugal filters (EMD Millipore, Billerica, MA). 10 µg of protein was separated using a 12% SDS-PAGE gel and further detected with an anti-GM-CSF antibody (Lifespan BioSciences, WA), and an anti-CXCL8/IL-8 antibody (R&D systems, MN).

Quantifying TNFα-induced CCL2 Secretion

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
WT and 26A PC3U cells were cultured with or without TNFα stimulation for 6 h. The conditioned medium was collected, centrifuged at 300 × g for 10 min, and then centrifuged with Ultracel-3K Centrifugal filters (Merck Millipore Ltd, Tullagreen Carrigtwohill Co, Ireland) at 4000 × g for 30 min. Secretion of CCL2 into the medium was determined by using the DuoSet ELISA -Human CCL2/MCP-1 kit (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA), according to the manufacturer’s protocols. Optical density (O.D.) at 450 nm was measured in a 96-well plate by Multiscan FC Microplate Photometer (Thermo Scientific).

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.
