What happens if your body gets too much protein?
Excess protein consumed is usually stored as fat, while the surplus of amino acids is excreted. This can lead to weight gain over time, especially if you consume too many calories while trying to increase your protein intake.
Can you reuse protein concentrators?
As Ammara mentioned, yes they can be reused. We reuse the filters for the same protein(same sample if working with cell lysates). After each use, we wash with milli Q , then 70% ethanol and finally with milli Q. We store them at 4 degree with milli Q or the buffer of your protein.
How much protein do I need daily?
How much protein do you need? Anywhere from 10% to 35% of your calories should come from protein. So if your needs are 2,000 calories, that’s 200–700 calories from protein, or 50–175 grams. The recommended dietary allowance to prevent deficiency for an average sedentary adult is 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight.
What is a vivaspin ® 500 centrifugal concentrator?
Vivaspin ® centrifugal concentrators are disposable ultrafiltration devices for the concentration of biological samples. Vivaspin ® 500 centrifugal filter units offer a simple, one step procedure for sample concentration with starting volumes up to 500 µl. They can effectively be used in fixed angle rotors accepting 2. 2 ml centrifuge tubes.
How long does it take for vivaspin 500 to work?
Vivaspin ® 500 units are available with PES membrane in a wide range of molecular weight cut-offs. Concentrate recoveries of > 90% can be reached in less than 30 min. The dead stop pocket prevents concentration to dryness.
What is a vivaspin spin column used for?
Vivaspin™ ultrafiltration spin columns are designed for fast, non-denaturing concentration and desalting of proteins and other biological samples. Vivaspin™ ultrafiltration spin columns are designed for fast, non-denaturing concentration and desalting of proteins and other biological samples.
