BIG TUNA

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document introduces Big Tuna, an automated system designed to streamline the buffer exchange process, which is typically a manual and time-consuming task. Big Tuna offers precise control over protein exchanges, accommodating a wide range of volumes and formulations.
Key Features:
  • Automation: Big Tuna automates buffer exchange, allowing users to manage up to 96 samples simultaneously with minimal hands-on time.
  • Volume Flexibility: It supports a range of volumes from 0.1 mL to 192 mL, using Unfilter 96 for smaller volumes and Unfilter 24 for larger volumes.
  • Precision and Control: The system uses pressure-based UF/DF and acoustic sensors to ensure even buffer exchange and accurate volume measurements.
  • User-Friendly Interface: A software wizard guides users through the setup, making it easy to manage proteins and buffers.
Specifications:
  • Buffer Exchange Volume Range: Unfilter 24: 0.45-8 mL; Unfilter 96: 100-450 μL.
  • Formulations: Unfilter 24 supports up to 24 formulations in parallel; Unfilter 96 supports up to 96 formulations.
  • Exchange Time: Full volume exchange takes 4.5 hours for Unfilter 24 and 3 hours for Unfilter 96 at 10 mg/mL IgG.
  • Protein Concentration: Up to 200 mg/mL with a target concentration accuracy of ±10%.
  • System Requirements: Operates at room temperature with a pressure of 60 psi and requires nitrogen or CDA with specific pressure and flow rate.
Consumables:
  • Unfilter 24: 24-well plate, up to 8 mL per well, with regenerated cellulose.
  • Unfilter 96: 96-well plate, up to 450 µL per well, with various kDa options.
  • Disposable Tips: 1000 µL non-filtered, reusable up to 12 times per exchange.

BIG TUNA-2

Cut loose from manual buffer exchange Buffer exchange is the time consuming, hands-on chore you have to deal with before all the things you really want to do. Big Tuna automates the entire tedious process and puts all the control at your fingertips. Exchange one protein, 96 or anything in between. It handles big and small volumes with high precision, so you’ll sail through exchanges without a hitch. 1 – 96 formulations 0.1 – 192 mL sample 30 min hands-on time Up to

Go big or keep it small Big Tuna serves up two consumables to tackle any volume requirement. Use Unfilter 96 to exchange as little as 100 µL on as many as 96 different samples at the same time. Unfilter 24 lets you go big and exchange as much as 8 mL on up to 24 samples. No matter how you roll, Big Tuna can handle it.

Always come out even Big Tuna keeps buffer exchange even across the plate with its unique pressure-based UF/DF and gentle mixing. Its acoustic sensor measures the volume in every well before and after each cycle to track every sample’s exchange rate. Then Big Tuna figures out on the fly how much buffer to add to even things out. Measure volume Measure volume Pressure Input samples Exchanged samples Concentrate (optional)

Be a control freak Buffer exchange doesn’t have to be a shot in the dark or keep you anchored to the bench. Big Tuna gives you full, hands-off control over how efficiently the process happens. Take it slow and easy with delicate proteins or fast-track the sturdy ones. Big Tuna nails the final protein concentration and gets you to next steps quicker.

Know it all You’ll be a Big Tuna expert on the first try. Use the software wizard to drag and drop your proteins and buffers into place — Big Tuna handles the rest. It’ll tell you exactly where to put everything else and how much buffer you’ll need. After the run starts, check in on progress anytime and know exactly when your exchange is
