General description
•Typical recoveries of greater than 95%, even for dilute solutions
•Reverse spin to maximize recovery, even in the smallest samples
•Convenient storage of filtrate or concentrated sample in standard microfuge tube
•Concentration factors up to 100X
Microcon DNA Fast Flow Filter
Optimized for the concentration and recovery of genomic DNA with SDS buffer. The low nonspecific binding characteristics of the membrane and the other device components, coupled with its medical-grade o-ring seal, allows the device to accommodate several wash steps with minimal sample loss.
Features:
•High recovery for small volumes with reverse spin (concentration factor less than 20X)
•Low-binding Ultracel membrane
•Fast processing
Sample applications:
•Recovery of genomic DNA for forensic applications
•Concentration and desalting of nucleic acids (high recovery alternative to ethanol precipitation)
•Removal of primers from amplified DNA
•Easy filtrate recovery, exploiting the flat membrane design

Microcon® Centrifugal Filters simply and efficiently concentrate and desalt solutions of DNA, RNA, protein or other macromolecules, using any centrifuge that can accept 1.5 mL tubes.
Maximum recovery of pure intact genomic DNA from crude biological samples is the critical first step in any forensic analysis workflow. Typically, the process involves cell disruption, chemical or ion exchange-based extraction of the nucleic acid fraction and concentration of the purified DNA sample. While ethanol precipitation is commonly used for DNA concentration in research settings, an effective alternative is ultrafiltration via small spin columns such as the Microcon® DNA Fast Flow device. However, one overriding concern in the field of genetic testing is consumable product contamination with exogenous DNA during their assembly and packaging. To minimize this potential, a dual cycle ethylene oxide (EtO) treatment is employed to disrupt or fragment amplifiable DNA, thereby reducing the risk of false positives or uninterpretable results. To meet this concern, EMD Millipore has released the Microcon® DNA Fast Flow PCR Grade filter, an EtO-treated form of the parent device that has been shown here to match the original Microcon® device in performance.
