Membrane Filtration and Hardware

An Exhaustive Portfolio

The path to new discoveries must be laid on a solid foundation. Backed by decades of research, Merck's exhaustive portfolio of fundamental filters and supporting hardware has helped generations of scientists reach new milestones.

With the needs of today’s scientists foremost in our minds we have continued to evolve, ensuring our products can continue to serve as the cornerstone for your latest innovation.

Membrane Filtration

Membrane Filtration

Millipore™ membranes have supported laboratory filtration in the academic, pharmaceutical, and industrial sectors since the 1950s. We provide a range of membrane chemistries including MF-Millipore™ mixed cellulose esters, Durapore™ PVDF, and Millipore Express™ PLUS polyethersulfone, as well as hydrophilic and hydrophobic PTFE.

Hardware and Accessories

Hardware and Accessories

Filter housings are used in conjunction with cut disc membrane filters to provide structural support and create a seal around the membrane to prevent filtrate contamination. Reusable syringe filter holders are suited for filtering or clearing small amounts of liquid where a replaceable or removable filter is desired. Filter holders for vacuum and pressure filtration are available in a variety of formats and sizes. View some of Merck's most popular filtration hardware and accessory items below:

Multiwell Plates for Filtration & Assays

Multiply Your Success with MultiScreen™ and Millicell™ Plates

Multiwell plates enable simple, rapid, automation-compatible preparation and analysis of multiple samples to fulfill the requirements of life science, environmental, analytical, clinical, forensic, diagnostic, and industrial workflows.

MultiScreen™ plates meet specific performance criteria for sample preparation and assay methodology requiring low non-specific binding of protein and drug analytes, solvent compatibility, and sample throughput. MultiScreen™ plates are used to prepare and collect samples for analysis and miniaturize assays in 96- or 384-well formats, while Millicell™ products offer the versatility of 6, 12, 24, or 96 wells for cell culture applications.

MultiScreen™

MultiScreen™

MultiScreen™ filter plates are designed to work productively with sensitive detection and imaging systems, providing dependable and robust sample handling and precision transfer.

MultiScreen™ filtration plates are offered with a broad selection of membrane filters and in both sterile and
non-sterile forms.

Protein Preparation and Analysis

Extraction, Isolation, Purification, Separation, and Detection

Our membrane engineers have developed devices expressly for desalting, concentrating, and buffer exchange that save your proteins and save you time and protocol steps. A comprehensive offering of protein preparation products provides gentle extraction, high-yield isolation and purification, and application-verified detection tools for techniques like electrophoresis as well as Western blot, ELISA, and multiplex and mass spectrometry.

 

UF Protein Concentration

UF Protein Concentration

Concentrate your protein, don’t lose it. Recover protein reliably when you concentrate with Amicon™ Ultra filters. We’ve engineered Amicon™ Ultra filters with low-binding Ultracel™ regenerated cellulose membranes to ensure more precise molecular weight cut-offs.

Rethink Western Blotting

Rethink Western Blotting

Merck's Western Blotting products are designed to improve key steps of the blotting process. Achieve better reproducibility, signal-to-noise, and robustness with tools optimized for your workflow, such as those illustrated below:

Filter - Membrane

Filter - Membrane

Downstream analyses require that proteins, nucleic acids, virus particles, and other biomolecules are solubilized in their native form at an appropriate concentration. Ultrafiltration methods can be used to gently and efficiently concentrate biological or environmental samples by removing excess liquid or buffer. A variety of ultrafiltration devices are available to rapidly concentrate proteins and other biomolecules with high recovery.
