Uricon® Protein Concentrator
For urine concentration without equipment to prepare for electrophoresis.
Product Description
The Uricon® concentrator provides a reliable method for the rapid concentration of proteins from clinical samples such as serum and urine. It is of particular interest to hospital laboratories carrying out routine enrichment of body fluids prior to electrophoresis.
Samples are introduced into an isolated chamber within the concentrator where one inner surface is a membrane of selective permeability, backed by a pressure resistant absorbent pad and gel. The gel removes water and low molecular weight molecules from the sample solution by absorption so that the retained components of the sample are progressively concentrated. A suitable concentration of the sample is eventually reached for analysis, for example electrophoresis.
