Gel Filtration Media Support

Gel Filtration Media Support

Rapid and efficient removal of small molecules from nucleic acids

Gel filtration media are used for the analysis of molecular size, separations of components in the mixture, salt removal or buffer exchange for a preparation of macromolecules.

Porex provides media support that holds the functionalized stationary phase in place, ensuring repeatable column performance. POREX® gel filtration media:

  • Inert and functionalized porous membrane delivers quick and efficient desalting, buffer exchange and removal of low molecular weight compounds. 
  • Provide enhanced functionality through surface modification or sorbent additions such as CPG, carbon, C8 or C18.
  • Are design optimized for purification and desalting of oligonucleotides, proteins, small molecules from nucleic acids etc.
  • Tested by independent laboratories – CERTIFIED PURE POREX® materials ensure performance, accuracy and reproducibility.

Deep Well Plate Filter Media

Deep Well Plate Filter Media

Recover filtrates and particulate retentates thoroughly and quickly

Used for high recovery of filtrates and particulate retentates, POREX® deep well filter media are designed for high-throughput sample processing.

Our POREX deep well filter plate media features:

  • High sample recovery for many processing techniques including filtration, vacuum filtration, centrifugation or other positive pressure techniques
  • Minimal contamination–Porous material structure prevents cross talk between adjacent well walls.
  • Proprietary surface modification – Materials allow multiple functionalities or sorbent addition, including CPG, carbon C18 or C8, and media is suitable for vacuum filtration, centrifugation or other positive pressure techniques.
  • Tested by independent laboratories – Certified pure materials ensure performance, accuracy and reproducibility.
