Clarion™ Mini Spin Columns

For protein desalting and buffer exchange of samples to 100uL

Our mini spin columns feature rapid desalting, buffer exchange, and removal of small molecular weight impurities using only a microcentrifuge.

Proteins, oligos, or nano-particles are simultaneously purified, desalted, and eluted into pure water in a single action.

Clarion Mini Spin Columns Feature:

  • Removal of up to 99.999% salts, dyes, haptens, and other small molecules
  • Process samples up to 100 µL in under 5 minutes
  • Sterile packed, pre-swollen with purified water and ready-to-use

Column Preparation

1. Column Preparation

  1. If the columns have been stored cold, allow to warm to room temperature before use.
  2. Tap gently or briefly vortex to resuspended gel and remove air bubbles.
  3. Remove the bottom cap and then remove the top cap.

2. Removal of storage buffer

  1. Place the column into a wash tube.
  2. Centrifuge at 1000 x g for 2 minutes. Note the column position using the orientation mark.
  3. Discard wash tube and eluted storage buffer.

3. Sample Processing

  1. Carefully apply sample directly to center of gel bed but without touching the gel bed surface.
  2. Place column into a collection tube. Maintain proper column orientation.
  3. Centrifugate at 1000 x g for 2 minutes to elute the purified sample.
