VivafreeTM 500 and VivafreeTM 2

Product catalog summary
Overview: Vivafree™ centrifugal filters are designed for the rapid and accurate separation of free drugs and hormones from those bound to serum or plasma proteins. These filters are particularly useful in therapeutic drug monitoring, drug binding studies, and sample preparation for mass spectrometry.
Applications:
  • Separation of free hormones such as testosterone, insulin, and cortisol.
  • Sample preparation for therapeutic drug monitoring of substances like phenytoin, valproic acid, and antibiotics.
  • Protein removal from samples prior to mass spectrometry.
  • Preparation for drug binding studies.
Features and Benefits:
  • Equipped with a low binding Hydrosart® membrane, ensuring high sample recoveries.
  • Centrifugal separation is significantly faster than equilibrium dialysis, taking approximately 30 minutes compared to 6-12 hours.
Technical Specifications:
  • Vivafree™ 500: Total sample capacity of 0.5 ml, with dimensions of 45 mm length for filtration and 47.5 mm for back-spin, and an active membrane area of 0.32 cm².
  • Vivafree™ 2: Total sample capacity of 2 ml, with dimensions of 125 mm length for filtration and 115 mm for back-spin, and an active membrane area of 0.95 cm².
  • Both models have a hold-up volume of less than 5 µl and 10 µl respectively, with no dead stop in swing-out rotors.
Materials of Construction: The body is made of polycarbonate, while the filtrate vessel and back spin vial are made of polypropylene. The membrane options include Hydrosart® (30,000 MWCO) and Cellulose Triacetate (125,000 MWCO).
Equipment Requirements: A centrifuge with either a fixed angle or swing-out rotor is required. The maximum speed varies depending on the molecular weight cutoff (MWCO) of the membrane.
Performance Characteristics: The document provides detailed performance data for various samples, including free insulin, piperacillin, tazobactam, linezolid, fluconazole, cortisol, phenytoin, and testosterone, with specific conditions for each.
Ordering Information: The filters are available in different pack sizes and MWCO options, with specific product codes for ordering.
Contact Information: Manufactured by Sartorius Stedim Lab Ltd., with North American distribution through Vivaproducts. Contact details and website information are provided for further inquiries and ordering.

The devices are useful for preparing samples for therapeutic drug monitoring, new drug binding studies and before mass spectrometry. Vivafree™ filters have been used for separating free hormones such as testosterone and insulin as well as drugs such as phenytoin, valproic acid and antibiotics. They are equipped with the patented regenerated cellulose Hydrosart® membrane which is designed to minimize binding of any microsolutes. Separations can be performed as quickly as 20 minutes with high recoveries and excellent reproducibility. Vivafree™ filters are single use devices intended for in vitro diagnostic (IVD) applications .
