Product Data GHP Nanosep® MF Centrifugal Device, HPLC Grade Ideal for particulate removal prior to sample analysis (HPLC, IC, or GC) • Rapid processing of small-volume samples. Centrifugal devices are simple to use and save on sample preparation time. • Universal membrane filter. The GH Polypro hydrophilic polypropylene membrane is ideal for aqueous solutions and offers maximum chemical compatibility for aggressive solvents. • 96.5% protein recovery. GH Polypro membrane is a low protein binding membrane. It removes unwanted particulate from samples with high recovery of critical proteins. • Low extractables. Our HPLC-grade centrifugal devices are certified to be low in UV extractables. • Low hold-up volume (< 2 µL) makes these devices ideal for expensive samples. • High g-force ratings. Can be spun at 14,000 x g assuring rapid sample processing. • Minimizes membrane clogging. G-force impacts the membrane at an angle, sweeping accumulated materials from the surface. • Leak-free operation. Unique sealing technology assures leak-free operation without the use of O-rings or adhesives that can add extractables. Applications Centrifugal devices are very simple to use. The sample to be processed is pipetted into the upper reservoir of the device. The device is placed into the appropriate centrifuge (taking care that the rotor is balanced) and spun. Filtrate can be recovered by removing the lower reservoir of the device and using a pipette or pipette tip to remove the liquid. Retentate can be recovered from the GHP Nanosep MF centrifugal device simply by pipetting it from the upper reservoir. • Sample Prep – particulate removal prior to sample analysis (HPLC, IC, or GC) • Removal of precipitates (metals, polymers, or crystals) • Isolation of DNA from agarose gel slices • Removal of cells from media prior to analysis • Applications requiring maximum filtrate recovery from limited sample volumes Specifications Materials of Construction Upper Housing, Lower Reservoir: Polypropylene Membrane: GH Polypro (hydrophilic polypropylene) Capacities Sample Volume: 50 - 500 µL Filtrate Receiver Volume: 500 µL Hold-up Volume (membrane/support): < 2 µL Pore Size 0.45 µm Operating Temperature Range 0 - 40 °C (32 - 104 °F) Effective Filtration Area 0.28 cm2 Maximum Centrifugal Force 14,000 x g Dimensions Overall Length (fully assembled with cap): 4.5 cm (1.8 in.) Centrifuge A rotor is required that accepts 1.5 mL tubes Performance Low Protein Binding The GHP Nanosep® MF centrifugal device contains low protein binding GH Polypro membrane. In analysis of proteinaceous biological samples, nonspecific adsorption of sample to the filtration device is a concern. Low protein adsorption is especially important when small volumes of dilute protein solutions are being filtered. Greater than 95% recovery of proteins from GHP Nanosep MF devices is typical.

Pruett. This data is intended to provide expected results when filtration devices are exposed to chemicals under static conditions for 48 hours at 25 °C, unless otherwise noted. This chart is intended only as a guide. Accuracy cannot be guaranteed. Users should verify chemical compatibility with a specific filter under actual use conditions. Chemical compatibility with a specific filter under actual use conditions is affected by many variables, including temperature, pressure, concentration, purity, and various chemical combinations which prevent complete accuracy.
