Dear All,

the smallest centrifugal protein concentrators I know take sample volumes of 
0.5 ml, like these: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/ES/es/product/mm/ufc5010 (but 
other brands are also available).

In theory you should be able to get to less than 40. In practice it is 
difficult. A problem is that, with a total protein amount of below 0.5 mg, a 
significant amount of it will stick to the plastic of the tubes and the filter, 
so it just becomes impossible to get very small volumes.

I was wondering if there are other solutions available? Or efforts to 
miniaturise this?
 (apart from lyophilisation, which is not suitable for many proteins).

Best wishes,

Mark
