Harvard Apparatus's MiniSpin columns have been obsoleted and are NO LONGER AVAILABLE.  We are encouraging customers to switch to our new configuration for our RPC desalting MiniSpin columns, BioPureSPN, for additional sample capacity and reproducibility.

The BioPureSPN PROTO C18 MACRO (HMM S18V) contain the same wide pore C18 that is in the MACROspin C18 (SMM SS18V) columns (100mg vs. 89mg). The BioPureSPN PROTO C18 MIDI (HEM S18V) contain the same wide pore C18 that is in the MicroSpin C18 (SEM SS18V) columns (50mg vs. 38mg). The BioPureSPN PROTO C18 Mini (HUM S18V) contain the same wide pore C18 that is in the UltraMicroSpin C18 (SUM SS18V) columns (20mg vs. 18mg). The FastEq BioPureSPN C18 MACRO (HMM S18R) is a water wettable chemistry which equilibrates 10x faster than other C18's. It is the same TARGA C18 chemistry as is in the SMM SS18R columns, and is designed for impatient researchers or very polar molecules which need to be loaded in 100% water onto a column fully equilibrated at 100% water.

The extra packing provides greater assurance of binding from higher volume loads, but doesn't impose a volume penalty for elution since one spins these "dry." One can use exactly the same protocol currently used, with the assurance that this new package design will provide additional protection for one's samples. They are color coded by chemistry for convenience and are storable. Packaging options are at BioPureSPN.shtml.

Additionally, specific application materials like HILIC for detergent removal, HIL-SCX for post ICAT sample prep, ERLIC-WAX Phosphopeptide Enrichment are available from PolyLC® Inc., and TARGA® C18 for desalting of phosphopeptides and carbohydrates using 100% water loading conditions from Higgins Analytical® Inc.. Empty columns are available so your proprietary packings materials can be used in this format.

PAGE*Eraser™ microFilter Spin Columns remove particulates from samples from in-gel digests to prolong capillary LC-MS column life. Care must be taken to limit the number of cycles of sample solvent loading, since elution of sample can occur when more than seven bed volumes are employed for loading and wash. Additionally, the rate of solvent loading and elution will affect the ability of one's sample to diffuse onto or off of the bed. For these reasons, we prefer the use of BioPureSPE columns rather than Tips.

Detergent Removal: Use HILIC BioPureSPN columns for complete detergent removal.

Histidine Removal: Use HisSep™ Spin columns from ID Biologics replace membrane techniques for complete histidine removal from antibody formulations. HisSep™ columns increase the accuracy of assays by removing the interference of histidine in amino acid or icIEF electrophoretic assays.

Volume Dependent Results for Retention with Partition Column Chemistries:

Desorption increases with an excess of sample loading volume and/or wash volume. The maximum loading volume is one chromatographic void volume (ca. 60% of the bed volume) less than the k' of the analyte of interest. Increased loading can be obtained by either selecting a more retentive solvent condition or from a more retentive column chemistry such as TARGA C18, which allows loading in 100% water and which could even retain (for a few column volumes) underivatized simple sugars.
